ILLO
(to WALLENSTEIN).
A courier, duke! he wishes to speak with thee.
TERZKY
(eagerly).
Does he bring confirmation of the victory?
WALLENSTEIN
(at the same time).
What does he bring? Whence comes he?
ILLO.
From the Rhinegrave,
And what he brings I can announce to you
Beforehand. Seven leagues distant are the Swedes;
At Neustadt did Max. Piccolomini
Throw himself on them with the cavalry;
A murderous fight took place! o'erpowered by numbers
The Pappenheimers all, with Max. their leader,
[WALLENSTEIN shudders and turns pale.
Were left dead on the field.
WALLENSTEIN
(after a pause, in a low voice).
Where is the messenger? Conduct me to him.
