FIRST PART OF WALLENSTEIN.
169
WALLENSTEIN.
Come on me what will come,
The doing evil to avoid an evil
Cannot be good!

TERTSKY.
Nay, but bethink you, Duke?

WALLENSTEIN.
To live upon the mercy of these Swedes!
Of these proud-hearted Swedes! I could not bear it.

ILLO.
Goest thou as fugitive, as mendicant?
Bring'st thou not more to them than thou receiv'st?



SCENE VII.

To these enter the Countess Tertsky.

WALLENSTEIN.
Who sent for you? There is no business here
For women,

COUNTESS.
I am come to bid you joy.

WALLENSTEIN.
Use thy authority, Tertsky, bid her go.

COUNTESS.
Come I perhaps too early? I hope not.

WALLENSTEIN.
