THE ROBBERS.
157

SCENE, A Forest seen by Moonlight.—In one part of the Scene a Ruined Tower.

The band of Robbers sleeping on the ground, Spiegelberg and Razman come forward in discourse.

Razman.

The night is far advanced—and the Captain not come yet.

Spiegelberg.

Harkee, Razman, I have a word for you in confidence.—Captain, did you say? Who made him our Captain? or rather has he not usurped that title, which by right was mine? What! Is it for this we have set our lives on the cast of a die?—Is it for this we have exposed ourselves to Fortune's spleen,—have scorned disgrace and infamy?—What! to be the dastard bondmen of a slave?—We slaves, who should be princes!—By heavens, Razman, I ne'er could brook it.

Razman.
