Wallenstein/The Death of Wallenstein/A1S05

by Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller

SCENE V.

To them enter Count Tertsky.

COUNTESS.
—TERTSKY!
What ails him? What an image of affright!
He looks as he had seen a ghost.

TERTSKY.
(leading Wallenstein aside.)
Is it thy command that all the Croats——

WALLENSTEIN.
Mine!

TERTSKY.
We are betray'd.

WALLENSTEIN.
What?

TERTSKY.
They are off! This night
The Jägers likewise—all the villages
In the whole round are empty.

WALLENSTEIN.
Isolani!

TERTSKY.
Him thou hast sent away. Yes, surely.

WALLENSTEIN.
I?

TERTSKY.
No! Hast thou not sent him off? Nor Deodate?
They are vanish'd both of them.
