Do it not;
Not yet! This rash and bloody deed has thrown them
Into a frenzy-fit—allow them time———

WALLENSTEIN.
Away! too long already have I loiter'd,
They are embolden'd to these outrages,
Beholding not my face. They shall behold
My countenance, shall hear my voice———
Are they not my troops? Am I not their General,
And their long-fear'd commander? Let me see,
Whether indeed they do no longer know
That countenance, which was their sun in battle!
From the balcony, (mark!) I shew myself
To these rebellious forces, and at once
Revolt is mounded, and the high-swoln current
Shrinks back into the old bed of obedience.
[Exit Wallenstein; Illo, Tertsky, and Butler follow.
