For the imperfections of our version we must request the indulgence of our readers. The scene (Act 1. Scene 1) displays the magnificent rocky shores of the Lake of the Four Cantons, opposite to Schwytz. The songs of the fishermen and hunters are interrupted by indications of an approaching storm. CONRAD BAUMGARTEN rushes in, breathless. BAUM. For God's sake, ferryman! your boat! your boat ! RHODI. Well, well, but why such need of haste ? BAUM. Push off! You rescue me from death. Take me across. KUONI. Comrade, what ails you ? WERNI. Who pursues you, then ? BAUM. [ To the Fisherman.] Haste, haste, they are already at my heels ! The Landvogt's riders follow fast behind me; My death is certain if they do but seize me. RUODI. Why do the Landvogt's riders thus pursue you ? BAUM. Oh I save me first, and then I'll tell you all. WERNI. Your clothes are stain'd with blood; what can have pass'd ? BAUM. The Burgvogt of the Emperor, at Rossberg— KUONI. What! Wolfenschiessen ? and does he pursue you ? BAUM. He will harm no one more : I've slain him. May God have mercy on you! What have you done ? BAUM. What every free man in my place had done ! I have hut exercised my good houseright, Against the insulter of my wife and honour. Martin2001 Satisfaction Guaranteed Policy!
