Tertsky. Away! let us away! in the antechamber 255
Find we the others. [They go.
Butler (to Questenberg). If good counsel gain
Due audience from your wisdom, my Lord Envoy!
You will be cautious how you shew yourself
In public for some hours to come—or hardly
Will that gold key protect you from maltreatment. 260
[Commotions heard from without.
Wallenstein. A salutary counsel——Thou, Octavio!
Wilt answer for the safety of our guest.
Farewell, Von Questenberg! [Questenberg is about to speak.
Nay, not a word.
Not one word more of that detested subject!
You have performed your duty—We know how 265
To separate the office from the man.
[As Questenberg is going off with Octavio, Goetz, Tiefenbach, Kolatto, press in; several other Generals following them.
Goetz. Where's he who means to rob us of our general?
Tiefenbach (at the same time). What are we forced to hear?
That thou wilt leave us?
Kolatto (at the same time). We will live with thee, we will die with thee.
Wallenstein (pointing to Illo). There! the Field-Marshal knows our will. [Exit. [270]
