CORNET.

We have him.

OCTAVIO.

Whom?

CORNET.

Sesina,

The old negociator.

OCTAVIO (eagerly).

And you have him?

CORNET.

In the Bohemian Forest Captain Mohrbrand

Found and secur'd him yester morning early:
He was proceeding then to Regenspurg,
And on him were dispatches for the Swede.

OCTAVIO.

And the dispatches———

CORNET.

The lieutenant-general

Sent them that instant to Vienna, and
The prisoner with them.

OCTAVIO.

This is, indeed, a tiding!

That fellow is a precious casket to us,
Enclosing weighty things.—Was much found on him?

CORNET.

I think, six packets, with Count Tertsky's arms.

OCTAVIO.

None in the Duke's own hand?

CORNET.
