THE ROBBERS.

O. Moor.

How know you that?

Herman.

I know your son——

Amelia.

Is he alive?—is he alive?—Do you know him?—Where is he?—where, where? (Is running out.)

O. Moor.

Do you know my son?

Herman.

He studied at the university of Leipzick.—Whither he went from thence I know not.—He wandered all over Germany bare headed and bare footed, as he told me himself, and begg'd his bread from door to door!—About five months afterwards that terrible war broke out between the Poles and Turks—and being quite desperate, he followed the victorious army of King Matthias to the town of Pest.—Give me leave, said he to the King, to die on the bed of heroes!—I have no father now!——

O. Moor.

O do not look at me, Amelia!

Herman.
