My name is Tell.

Ges. Tell!—William Tell?

Tell. The same.

Ges. What! he so famed ’bove all his countrymen

For guiding o’er the stormy lake the boat?

And such a master of his bow, ’tis said

His arrows never miss! Indeed, I’ll take

Exquisite vengeance! Mark! I’ll spare thy life—

Thy boy’s, too!—both of you are free—on one

Condition.
