SCENE XIV.—

Jaxthausen.

Goetz, LerseandGeorge.

Goetz.

We must not lose a moment. My poor fellows, I dare allow you no rest. Gallop round and strive to enlist troopers, appoint them to assemble at Weilern, where they will be most secure. Should we delay a moment, they will be before the castle.—(ExeuntLerseandGeorge)—I must send out a scout. This begins to grow warm.—If we had but brave foemen to deal with! But these fellows are only formidable through their number.

[Exit.

EnterSickingenandMaria.

Maria.

I beseech thee, dear Sickingen, do not leave my brother! His horsemen, your own, and those of Selbitz, all are scattered; he is alone. Selbitz has been carried home to his castle wounded. I fear the worst.

Sickingen.

Be comforted, I will not leave him.

EnterGoetz.

Goetz.

Come to the chapel; the priest waits; in a few minutes you shall be united.

Sickingen.

Let me remain with you.

Goetz.

You must come now to the chapel.

Sickingen.

Willingly!—and then—

Goetz.

Then you go your way.

Sickingen.

Goetz!

Goetz.

Will you not to the chapel?

Sickingen.

Come, come!

[Exeunt.
