SCENE II
_Enter OCTAVIO PICCOLOMINI and QUESTENBERG._
_Octavio._ Ay, ay! more still! Still more new visitors!
Acknowledge, friend! that never was a camp,
Which held at once so many heads of heroes.
Welcome, Count Isolani!
_Isolani._ My noble brother,
Even now am I arrived; it had been else my duty-- 5
_Octavio._ And Colonel Butler--trust me, I rejoice
Thus to renew acquaintance with a man
Whose worth and services I know and honour.
See, see, my friend!
There might we place at once before our eyes 10
The sum of war's whole trade and mystery--
[_To QUESTENBERG, presenting BUTLER and ISOLANI at the
same time to him._
These two the total sum--Strength and Dispatch.
