SCENE I

The Burgomaster’s House at Egra.

BUTLER.

Butler. Here then he is, by his destiny conducted.

Here, Friedland! and no farther! From Bohemia

Thy meteor rose, traversed the sky awhile,

And here upon the borders of Bohemia

Must sink.

Thou hast forsworn the ancient colours, 5

Blind man! yet trustest to thy ancient fortunes.

Profaner of the altar and the hearth,

Against thy Emperor and fellow-citizens

Thou mean’st to wage the war. Friedland, beware —

The evil spirit of revenge impels thee — 10

Beware thou, that revenge destroy thee not!

[Before 1] Butler (just arrived). 1800, 1828, 1829.
