True – that he said so I fully agree,
I was standing by. "The word is free —
The deed is dumb – obedience blind!"
His very words I can call to mind.
FIRST YAGER
I know not if these were his words or no,
But he said the thing, and 'tis even so.
SECOND YAGER
Victory ne'er will his flag forsake,
Though she's apt from others a turn to take:
Old Tilly outlived his fame's decline,
But under the banner of Wallenstein,
There am I certain that victory's mine!
Fortune is spell-bound to him, and must yield;
Whoe'er under Friedland shall take the field
Is sure of a supernatural shield:
For, as all the world is aware full well,
The duke has a devil in hire from hell.
SERGEANT
In truth that he's charmed is past a doubt,
For we know how, at Luetzen's bloody affair,
Where firing was thickest he still was there,
As coolly as might be, sirs, riding about.
The hat on his head was shot thro' and thro',
In coat and boots the bullets that flew
Left traces full clear to all men's view;
But none got so far as to scratch off his skin,
For the ointment of hell was too well rubbed in.
FIRST YAGER
What wonders so strange can you all see there?
An elk-skin jacket he happens to wear,
And through it the bullets can make no way.
SERGEANT
'Tis an ointment of witches' herbs, I say,
Kneaded and cooked by unholy spell.
TRUMPETER
No doubt 'tis the work of the powers of hell.
SERGEANT
That he reads in the stars we also hear,
Where the future he sees – distant or near —
But I know better the truth of the case
A little gray man, at the dead of night,
Through bolted doors to him will pace —
The sentinels oft have hailed the sight,
And something great was sure to be nigh,
When this little gray-coat had glided by.
FIRST YAGER
Ay, ay, he's sold himself to the devil,
Wherefore, my lads, let's feast and revel.
SCENE VII
The above – Recruit, Citizen, Dragoon.
(The Recruit advances from the tent, wearing a tin cap on his head, and carrying a wine-flask.)
RECRUIT
To father and uncle pray make my bow,
And bid 'em good-by – I'm a soldier now.
FIRST YAGER
See, yonder they're bringing us something new,
CITIZEN
Oh, Franz, remember, this day you'll rue.
RECRUIT (sings)
The drum and the fife,
War's rattling throng,
And a wandering life
The world along!
Swift steed – and a hand
To curb and command —
With a blade by the side,
We're off far and wide.
As jolly and free,
As the finch in its glee,
On thicket or tree,
Under heaven's wide hollow —
