THE ROBBERS.

Amelia.

(Coming slowly in, sees him, and shrieks.) Dead! quite dead! (Rushes out in despair.)

SCENE, The Forests of Bohemia.

Razman enters from one side of the stage, and Spiegelberg, with a band of robbers, from the other.

Razman.

Welcome, brother! welcome, my brave fellow, to the forests of Bohemia. (They embrace.) Where have you ranged, in lightning and in tempest? Whence come you now?

Spiegelberg.

Hot from the fair of Leipzick at present.—There was rare sport!—ask Schufterle.—He bid me congratulate you on your safe return.—He has joined our Captain's great troop on the road. (Sitting down on the ground.) And how has it fared with you since we left you? How goes the trade?—I could tell you of such feats, my boy, that you would forego your dinner to hear them.

Razman.
