THE ROBBERS.

Razman.

Why, that's pretty well to begin with.—This is some break-neck enterprise, I dare engage—something that will cost a head or two at least.

Spiegelberg.

Not your head, I answer for it.—There's nothing wanting but courage!—As for the genius, the contrivance. I take that all upon myself.—Courage, I say! Switzer, courage! Roller, Grimm, Razman, Schufterle—Courage is the word!

Switzer.

Courage! if that were all, I have enough to go bare-foot through hell!

Razman.

Courage! I could fight the devil in his own shape, for a thief's body under the gallows!

Spiegelberg.

That's what I like! Well, if you have courage, let any one of you step forward, and say, "I have something yet to lose—I am not quite thread-bare." (After a long pause.) What, not a word among you?

Roller.
