Terzky. (enters) Hast thou already heard it? He is taken. Gallas has given him up to the emperor.

[SENI draws off the black table, and exit.

Wallenstein. (to TERZKY) Who has been taken? Who is given up?

Terzky. The man who knows our secrets, who knows every Negotiation with the Swede and Saxon, Through whose hands all and everything has passed----

Wallenstein. (drawing back) Nay, not Sesina? Say, no! I entreat thee.

Terzky. All on his road for Regensburg to the Swede He was plunged down upon by Gallas' agent, Who had been long in ambush, lurking for him. There must have been found on him my whole packet To Thur, to Kinsky, to Oxenstiern, to Arnheim: All this is in their hands; they have now an insight Into the whole--our measures and our motives.
