WALLENST.

Use thy authority, Terzky; bid her go.

COUNTESS.

Come I perhaps too early? I hope not.

WALLENST.

Set not this tongue upon me, I entreat you:
You know it is the weapon that destroys me.
I am routed, if a woman but attack me:

With that unreasoning sex.

COUNTESS.

Given the Bohemians a king.

WALLENSTEIN (sarcastically).

They have one,
In consequence, no doubt.
