[GESSLER makes signs with his hand, which he repeats with vehemence, when he finds they are not understood.]

Where shall I take you to?
To Küssnacht? What you say I can't make out.

Of earthly things and make your peace with Heaven.

STUSSI.

See there! how pale he grows! Death's gathering now
About his heart—his eyes grow dim and glazed.

HARRAS.

Mad hag!
Have you no touch of feeling, that your eyes
Gloat on a sight so horrible as this?
Help me—take hold. What, will not one assist
To pull the torturing arrow from his breast?

WOMEN.
