_Second Servant._ And what may you have to object against eleven? I should like to know that now. _Seni._ Eleven is--transgression; eleven oversteps 25 The ten commandments. _Second Servant._ That's good! and why do you call five an holy number? _Seni._ Five is the soul of man: for even as man Is mingled up of good and evil, so 30 The five is the first number that's made up Of even and odd. _Second Servant._ The foolish old coxcomb! _First Servant._ Ey! let him alone though. I like to hear him; there is more in his words than can be seen at first sight. 35 _Third Servant._ Off! They come. _Second Servant._ There! Out at the side-door. [_They hurry off. SENI follows slowly. A page brings the staff of command on a red cushion, and places it on the table near the DUKE'S chair. They are announced from without, and the wings of the door fly open._ LINENOTES: [13] _hum_ 1800, 1828, 1829. [Before 15] _Seni (with gravity)._ 1800, 1828, 1829. [15] _nothing_ 1800, 1828, 1829. [16] _Nothing_ 1800, 1828, 1829. SCENE VII _WALLENSTEIN, DUCHESS._ _Wallenstein._ You went then through Vienna, were presented To the Queen of Hungary? _Duchess._ Yes, and to the Empress too, And by both Majesties were we admitted To kiss the hand. _Wallenstein._ And how was it received, That I had sent for wife and daughter hither 5 To the camp, in winter time? _Duchess._ I did even that Which you commissioned me to do. I told them, You had determined on our daughter's marriage, And wished, ere yet you went into the field, To shew the elected husband his betrothed. 10 _Wallenstein._ And did they guess the choice which I had made? _Duchess._ They only hoped and wished it may have fallen Upon no foreign nor yet Lutheran noble. _Wallenstein._ And you--what do you wish, Elizabeth? _Duchess._ Your will, you know, was always mine. _Wallenstein._ Well, then? 15 And in all else, of what kind and complexion Was your reception at the court? Hide nothing from me. How were you received? _Duchess._ O! my dear lord, all is not what it was. A cankerworm, my lord, a cankerworm 20 Has stolen into the bud. _Wallenstein._ Ay! is it so! What, they were lax? they failed of the old respect?
