Octavio. See your white hairs! Recall that word!

Butler. Farewell!

Octavio. What, would you draw this good and gallant sword
In such a cause? Into a curse would you 50
Transform the gratitude which you have earned
By forty years' fidelity from Austria?

Butler (laughing with bitterness). Gratitude from the House of Austria. [He is going.

Octavio (permits him to go as far as the door, then calls after him).
Butler!

[[718]]Butler. What wish you?

Octavio. How was't with the Count?

Butler. Count? what?

Octavio. The title that you wished, I mean. [55]

Butler (starts in sudden passion). Hell and damnation!
