And fears it will be forfeited because Hes in my service. Am I then so poor, That I no longer can indemnify My servants ? Well! To no one I employ Means of compulsion. If tis thy belief That fortune has fled from me, go! Forsake me. This night, for the last time, mayst thou unrobe me, And then go over to thy Emperor. Gordon, good night! I think to make a long Sleep of it: for the struggle and the turmoil Of this last day or two were great. Mayt please you! Take care that they awake me not too early. —ScHiLivER, translated by
