To these enter Seni.

Wallenstein. Is not that Seni? and beside himself,
If one may trust his looks! What brings thee hither
At this late hour, Baptista?

Seni. Terror, Duke!
[[801]] On thy account.

Wallenstein. What now?

Seni. Flee ere the day-break!
Trust not thy person to the Swedes!

Wallenstein. What now 5
Is in thy thoughts?

Seni (with louder voice). Trust not thy person to these Swedes.

Wallenstein. What is it then?

Seni (still more urgently). O wait not the arrival of these Swedes!
An evil near at hand is threatening thee
From false friends. All the signs stand full of horror! 10
Near, near at hand the net-work of perdition—
Yea, even now 'tis being cast around thee!

Wallenstein. Baptista, thou art dreaming!—Fear befools thee.
