QUESTENBERG.

Once before

I stood beside these colors.

ILLO.

Perchance too you remember where that was;

It was at Znaeim 4 in Moravia, where

You did present yourself upon the part

Of the emperor to supplicate our duke

That he would straight assume the chief command.

QUESTENBURG.

To supplicate? Nay, bold general!

So far extended neither my commission

(At least to my own knowledge) nor my zeal.

ILLO.

Well, well, then—to compel him, if you choose,

I can remember me right well, Count Tilly

Had suffered total rout upon the Lech.

Bavaria lay all open to the enemy,

Whom there was nothing to delay from pressing

Onwards into the very heart of Austria.

At that time you and Werdenberg appeared

Before our general, storming him with prayers,

And menacing the emperor's displeasure,

Unless he took compassion on this wretchedness.
