ACT IV.
Scene, Butler's Chamber.

Butler, Major, and Geraldin.
BUTLER.
Find me twelve strong Dragoons, arm them with pikes,
For there must be no firing—
Conceal them somewhere near the banquet-room,
And soon as the desert is serv'd up, rush all in
And cry—Who is loyal to the Emperor?

May make its way to the Duke.—Go instantly;
Have you yet sent for Captain Devereux
And the Macdonald?———
