If time yet permits—
WALLENST.
That lies with me, even now, at any hour.
WRANGEL.
Some days ago, perhaps. Today, no longer;
No longer since Sesina's been a prisoner.
[WALLENSTEIN is struck, and silenced.]
My Lord Duke, hear me—We believe that you
At present do mean honorably by us.
Since yesterday we're sure of that—and now
This paper warrants for the troops, there's nothing
Stands in the way of our full confidence.
Prague shall not part us. Hear! The Chancellor
Contents himself with Altstadt; to your Grace
He gives up Ratschin and the narrow side.
But Egra above all must open to us,
Ere we can think of any junction.
WALLENSTEIN.
You,
You therefore must I trust, and not you me?
I will consider of your proposition.
