GOETZ.

Why, I seem'd to think so too.

ISOLANI.

What do I care for that? Where there stand

other names mine can stand too.

TIEFENBACH.

Before supper there was a certain proviso therein,

or short clause, concerning our duties to the Emperor.

BUTLER. (to one of the Commanders.)

For shame, for shame! Bethink you. What

is the main business here? The question now is,
whether we shall keep our General, or let him
retire. One must not take these things too nicely,
and over-scrupulously.

ISOLANI. (to one of the Generals.)

Did the Duke make any of these provisos

when he gave you your regiment?

TERTSKY. (to Goetz.)

Or when he gave you the office of army-purveyancer,

which brings you in yearly a thousand pistoles!

ILLO.

He is a rascal who makes us out to be rogues.

If there be any one that wants satisfaction, let
him say so,—I am his man.

TIEFENBACH.

Softly, softly? 'Twas but a word or two.

MAX. (having read the paper gives it back.)

Till to-morrow therefore!

ILLO.
