Tell. Ferocious monster! Make

A father murder his own child—

Ges. Take off

His chains, if he consent.

Tell. With his own hand!

Ges. Does he consent?

Alb. He does.

(Gesler signs to his officers, who proceed to take off Tell’s chains. Tell all the time unconscious what they do.)

Tell. With his own hand!
