Illo. Tiefenbach's soldiers, when I gave the orders
To go off guard—Mutinous villains!
Tertsky. Well!
Wallenstein. What followed?
Illo. They refused obedience to them. [5]
Tertsky. Fire on them instantly! Give out the order.
Wallenstein. Gently! what cause did they assign?
Illo. No other,
They said, had right to issue orders but
Lieutenant-General Piccolomini.
Wallenstein. What? How is that? [10]
Illo. He takes that office on him by commission,
Under sign-manual of the Emperor.
