draws a parallel between the emancipation of Germany from the domination

by that battle, and the release of German operatic
art from its bondage to Italian and French influences, effected by Weber's opera.
The comparison is not inept. From the appearance of "Der Freischtz" dates
the first decisive triumph of the romantic movement in German music and the
enthusiastic acceptance by the German people of a form of art peculiarly its

is a chief occupation, perfect marksmanship

There are more ways than one of attaining it.
One way is through the intervention of Samiel, the Black Huntsman, none other
than the Evil One himself. The forest ranger who, with the proper incantations
and in the proper place, summons Samiel, may cast, in his name, seven bullets,
of which six are of infallible accuracy and will never fail to hit the mark.
The
seventh belongs to Samiel, and will hit what he, not the rifleman, wills. These
bullets are " free bullets," Freikugeln

In Dresden he met Friedrich Kind, a lawyer who had dabbled in literature
and dramatic writing. Among his productions were a novel, "Die Jgersbrute," and a play, " Die Nachtlager von Granada," which was the basis of a
highly successful opera by Kreutzer. The two discussed operatic subject^, and
their choice fell upon the "Freischtz" story, as told in Apel's book.
Both
were enthusiastic about it. Kind, who had already treated a similar subject in
the novel above mentioned, went to work with restless energy, beginning in

some friction that the work of the two was conjoined. One of the agreements
in the beginning had been that Weber should set the text as he had received it
from Kind, making, if any, only such minor alterations as the musical exigencies
might require. But no sooner had Weber begun to work upon it than he was
moved to discard the two important scenes with which Kind had begun the
opera a scene of the Hermit's prayer before his solitary woodland hut, and
then of his meeting with Agathe and Annchen, who speak with him of
Max and the trial shot. Weber's impulse to discard them came from his
afifianced bride, Caroline Brandt, an opera singer of more than an opera singer's
intelligence, whose keen sense for the stage and its effects told her that they
were superfluous. "Away with them," she wrote to the composer; "get at

Kind consented to the change reluctantly. He had a high opinion of the
poet's place in the making of an -opera higher^: perhaps, than anything in

would wish restored. At any rate, his views on the subject are consistent, and

Freischtz " would have made the artificial and rather pompous recitative of
the foreign operatic forms seem out of place as Wagner found it in Paris
when the dialogue was turned into recitative by force of necessity, even at the
hands of so sympathetic an adapter as Berlioz. But most, perhaps, of all, the
spoken words helped to the clearest comprehension of matters in which every
one in the audience felt as if he had or might have a part himself, enlisting
at once his active and aggressive sympathy.
Weber had naturally thought of a first performance of his work for his own
opera house in Dresden but as no move in that direction was made by the
authorities, he promised it to Count Brhl, Intendant of the Royal Opera in Berlin.
Before "Der Freischtz" was finished in 1820, Weber had written music to
Wolff's play of "Preciosa," which had been performed in that capital with
great success, and prepared the way for the new work. " Der Freischtz " was
delayed for a year, however, owing to an elaborate production that was given

sooner were the roles distributed to the singers than Frulein Eunike found
that her part was not "gay" enough, and at her request, seconded by Count
Brhl himself, Weber added to the score the thirteenth number, Annchen's
song in the third act about her ghost-seeing aunt, " Einst trumte meiner
sel'gen Base."

were scandalized at the riot of the Wolf's Glen and they were not disposed to
accept the " popular" quality of the work.
Zelter wrote to Goethe scornfully
of this "colossal nothing created out of nothing."
Tieck found it " the most
unmusical racket ever put on the stage."
E. T. A. Hoffmann expressed
himself to a similar effect.
Spohr could never understand why "Der Freischtz " had succeeded.
But the enthusiasm of the public was an everincreasing marvel then and there the opera struck that root in the affections
of the German people that has kept it perennially blooming ever since.
It was
quickly taken up in other musical centres; but it was its fate to submit to such
mutilation as few other works of its class have ever undergone.
In Vienna
it was produced in the following October with many changes and modifications,
It reached Weber's own Dresden in
some of them due to the censorship.
January of the next year. It penetrated to Paris in 1825, where its vicissitudes
were critical. It was mutilated "assassinated," Berlioz called it by CastilBlaze, to suit the supposed taste of the Parisian public
the names of the
characters were changed, the finale was made over, the title altered into
"Robin des Bois," and the remains were exhibited at the Oddon. In 1841
Berlioz, ardent admirer of the work and its composer, took charge of a presentation of "Der Freischtz" at the Grand Opi^ra in as near its pristine form as
possible but though he restored the name to 'Le Freischtz,
he was compelled
by the immutable laws of that institution to change all the spoken dialogue
into musical recitative.
It reached London in 1824, and there, too, deplorable
concessions to a supposititious public taste were made all too eagerly by men
who should have done better; much was left out, and many "ballads" were
inserted. Tn various degrees of mutilation it was soon playing at many London
theatres, and had spread through the provinces, much as it had in Germany.
New York in those days was ambitious in the production of operatic
novelties, and "Der Freischtz" was brought out there, for the first time in
America, at the Park Theatre on March 2, 1825.
The performance was in
"
English, and the opera was no doubt as violently " rearranged " and " adapted
as in any of the English versions in London.
Following is the cast, in which,
it will be observed, the names of several of the characters are changed

It was as successful for a time here as it was everywhere else, and the
" incantation scene " was the sensation of the theatrical season. Other versions
were brought over; in 1827, Charles E. Horn, noted as singer, actor and
composer of songs, appeared in one as Caspar. Kind, in his little book about
the opera, mentions performances that were given of it in New Orleans as
'The Wild Huntsman of Bohemia." A German performance was given in
New York as early as 1856 at the old Broadway Theatre, under Carl Bergmann
and the opera was not infrequently performed by the several German
companies that appeared in New York in the sixties.
Of late years, however,
it has fallen out of the operatic lists
it was given at the ^Metropolitan Opera
House under Dr. Damrosch in the season of 1884-5, ^"d at the Academy of
Music under Walter Damrosch in 1896, and it is occasionally performed in an
English garb.
In Germany alone it keeps its hold upon the public wherein
may be found a final justification of all that has been said about its Teutonism.

Max. Ja,es wird Zeit. Es schlug sieben.
Caspar. Zu Agathen? Das rath' ich doch nicht.

dass sie auf einen Gewinn als gute Vorbe deutung fr morgen hofft?
Max. Ach, die Anne! und ich selbst! Morgen!
Caspar. Deshalb bleib' noch und lass dir ra then! Dir knnte gar wohl geholfen werden.
Max. Mir geholfen?

Max. Yes, I mustj it has struck seven.

Caspar. To Agnes? Better not, I think- you
might frighten her. Don't you know that she
hopes for a prize, as a good omen for tomorrow?
Max. Ah, poor girl! and I, myself!.^ To-morrow!
Caspar. Well then, wait a while, and listen to
me. There's a sure way to help you_
Max. To help me?
Caspar (mysteriously). To give you full proof of

my

friendship t might, between ourselves

not without purpose have I let fall a word
now and then in your hearing. Sure enough.

51

Es giebt allerdings gewisse [geheime] unschuldige Jagdklinste_ diese Nacht, wo sich

die Mondscheibe verfinstert, ist zu grossen
Dingen geschickt.- Ein alter Bergjger hat
mir einmal vertraut- (man sieht Samiel zuweUen
lauschen, ohne dass ihn die Sprechenden bemerken.)

Max. Du missest mir das Gift tropfenweis zu.

Caspar. Wie war's, Kamerad, wenn ich dir noch
heute zu einem recht glcklichen Schuss verhlfe, der Agathen beruhigte und zugleich
euer morgendes Glck verbrgte?
Max". Du fragst wunderbar. Wie ist das mglich?
Caspar, Nur Muth, Muth! Was die Augen sehen,
glaubt das Herz. Da nimm meine Bchse!

Max. Was soll ich damit?

Caspar. Geduld! (schaut in die Hhe.) Zeigt sich
denn nichts? Da, da! Siehst du den Stsser
dort? Schiess' (Giebt ihm das Gewehr.)
Bist du ein Narr? Oder glaubst du, ich
bin's? [Es ist schon ganz dster,] der Vogel
schwebt [wie ein schwarzer Punkt in der
Luft,] wolkenhoch ber der Schussweite.
Caspar. Schiess' in's Teu_ Schellen- Obers*
Namen! Ha ha!

there are certain secret, harmless hunter's

tricksj- this very night, when the moon will
be eclipsed, is destined for weighty matters..
An old mountaineer told me once, in confidence _ (Zamiel appears at intervals, listening, but
unnoticed by the speakers).
Max. You measure my poison drop by drop!
Caspar. How would it be, comracie, if I were to
help you, to-day, to make the luckiest kind
of shot- one that would set Agnes at rest,
and assure your good fortune to-morrow?
Max.
strange question. How is that possible?
Caspar. Courage, courage! Heart believes, if
hand achieves! Here, take my rifle!

Max. What for?

Caspar. One moment
to be seen?

yonder?

Max.

Max

(berhrt wie Jm Zweifel den Stecher; das Gewehr geht

los. In demselben Augenblicke hrt man ein gellendes Gelchter, so dass sich Majc erschrocken nach Caspar um-

Was lachst du? Wie Fittiche der Unterwelt kreist's dort oben- (ein mchtiger Steinadler
sieht).

schwebt einen Augenblick wirbelnd in der Luftund strzt

dann t'odt zu Maxens Fssen). Was ist das?

Caspar.

[Sieh',]

der grsste Steinadler, den es

giebt! Was fr Fnge, und wie herrlich getroffen! Gleich unter'm Flgel, sonst nichts
verletzt. Kannst ihn ausstopfen lassen, Bruder, fr ein Naturalienkabinet.
Max. Aber ich begreife nicht- diese Bchse ist

doch wie jede andere.

Caspar- Victoria! (Reisst dem Adler eine Feder aus,
und steckt sie dem Max auf seinen Hut.) Das Wird
dich bei den Bauern in Respect setzen, das
wird Agathen erfreuen!- So, Kamerad! Dies
als Siegeszeichen.

Max. Was machst du?_ wird mir doch ganz

schauerlich! Was hast du geladen?
Was
war das fr eine Kugel?
Caspar. Gar keine Kugel, Nrrchen!
Eine
trchtige Blindschleiche,die trifft allemal.
Trum' ich denn?- oder bin ich berauscht? So etwas ist mir nie begegnet.
Caspar! Ich bitte dich, ich beschwre dich
(fasst ihn), Caspar, ich bring' dich um! Sag',
was war das fr eine Kugel?
Caspar. Bist du verwirrt, Freundchen, vor
Freuden? Ich theile sie mit dir, gelt? (um-

Max.

armt

ihn.)

Max (lsst ihn

Das war ein Schuss. Lass mich

los!

Wo

hast du die Kugel her?

Caspar. Nun, wenn du Vernunft annimst- so
sagi mir, du, der wackerste Jger, bist du,
oder stellst du dich nur so unerfahren? Wsstest du wirklich nicht, was eine F r e i k u los).

gel sagen will?

Max. Albernes Geschwtz!
Caspar. Da lernt man's doch besser unter

dem Kriegsvolk. Ha ha! Wie kmen die

Scharfschtzen zurecht, die oft ihren Mann
aus dem dicksten Pulverdampf herausschie ssen?Doch zu so etwasbedarf b anderer Knste, als blos zu zielen und loszudrcken.
Max (den Adler betrachtend).Der Schuss ist unglaublich! In trber Dmmerung aus den Wolken
-herabgeholt!- So wre es doch wahr?
Caspar. Zudem ist's wohl zweierlei, einem armen Erdensohne aus dem Hinterhalte das Lebenslicht ausblasen und sich eine Erbfrste rei und ein allerliebstes Mdchen erschiessen.
max. Hast du noch mehr solche Kugeln?

15433

* Properly, in

German playing-cards

(gazing upward), -is nothing

Do you see that eagle

Look, look!

(Gives him the rifle.)

Now

fire!

Max. Are you a fool? or do you take me

one? Now, in the twilight, with the bird

for
like

a black dot against the sky, far out of range!

Fire, in the Dev- in the Queen o'
Hearts' name! Ha ha!

Caspar.

Max

(touches the trigger hesitatingly; the rifle goes off.

At the same instant a wild peal of laughter is heard,
do
so that Max glances, startled, at Caspar).
you laugh? There's a rushing in the air like
demons' wings! (A great eagle poises for an instant, whirling in air, and then drops dead at Max's

Why

feet.)

What

is

that?

Caspar. Look! the greatest eagle to be found!

What talons! and what a clean shot! Just
under the wing, and nothing else touched!
You can have him stuffed, brother, for a natural-history cabinet.

Max.

But

I can't

conceive- surely, this rifle

any other.
Caspar. Hurrah! (Plucks
is like

a feather from the eagle,

Max's hatband.) There's something to make the peasants respect you
and to make Agnes happy!- So, comrade!
'tis an omen of victory!
Max. What are you doing? a shudder seizes
me! How did you load? What kind of bullet
was that?
blindworm
Caspar. No bullet at all, dunce!
with young- that will hit every time!
Max.
I dreaming? or is it the wine? Such

and sticks

a thing never happened to me! Caspar!
beg you, I implore you (laying hold on him),Caspar! 1 shall kill you! Tell me, what kind of

Dullet

was

that?

Caspar. Friend, has joy turned your head? I

rejoice with you, and how! (Embracing him.)
That was a shot! Let me go!
Max (letting him go),Where did you get that bullet?
Caspar. Well then, if you'll come to your
senses.-- now tell me, j'ou prince of huntsmen, are you, or do you only pretend to be,
so simple? Don't you really know what a
charmed bullet is?

Max.

Silly talk!

Caspar. Well, one gets better notions among

the soldiers. Ha ha! How could the sharpshooters do the trick, who often spot their

man where
skill is
just to

Max

the

smoke

is

thickest?

More

needed for that sort of thing than

aim and pull trigger.

(gazing at the eagle). The shot is incredible!

Brought down from the clouds, in the twilight!- Can it be true, after all?
Caspar. Besides, it's one thing to pick off a
poor mortal from an ambush, and another
thing to win, bv a lucky shot, a -HeadRanger-ship and a charming girl.
Max. Have )'ou any more such bullets?

the Queen of Diamonds.

Caspar. Es war die letzte, sie haben gerade
ausgereicht. (Pauset
Max. Bist du doch auf einmal so wortkarg!
Ausgereicht? Wie verstehst du das?
Caspar. Weil sie in dieser Nacht zu bekom men sind.
Max. In dieser Nacht?
Caspar. Ja doch! Drei Tage hintereinander
steht jetzt die Sonne imSchtzen, und heut'
ist der mittelste; heut', wenn sich die Tage
scheiden, giebt's eine totale Mondfinsterniss. Max! Kamerad! Dein Schicksal steht
unter dem Einfluss gnstiger Gestirne. Du
bist zu hohen Dingen ausersehen. Heute,
ferade in der Nacht zuvor, ehe du den Pro-

eschuss thun, Amt und Braut dir gewinnen

wo du der Hlfe so sehr Bedarfst,
beut die Natur selbst sich zu deinem Dienste!
Max. Wohl! Mein Geschick wiU's. Schaffe mir
so eine Kugel.
Caspar. Mehr als du brauchst. Aber bedarf der
sollst,

Marm

eines Vormunds?

Max. Wie erlangt man sie?

Caspar. Das will ich dich lehren.
Sei punkt
zwlf Uhr in der Wolfsschlucht.
Max. Um Mitternacht in der Wolfsschlucht?
Nein! Die Schlucht ist verrufen und um Mitternacht ffnen sich die Pforten der Hlle.

Caspar. Pah!_Wie du denkst!- Und doch kann

ich dich deinem Unstern nicht berlassen.
Ichbin deinFreund,ich will dir giessenhelfen.
Max. Auch das nicht.
Caspar. So mache dich morgen zum Landes gesptt, verlier' die Frsterei und Agathen!Ich bin dein Freund, ich will selbst fr dich
giessen, aber dabei musst du sein.
Max. Deine Zunge ist glatt.- Nein, an solche
Dinge muss ein frommer Jger nicht denken.
Caspar. Feigling! Also nur durch fremde Gefahr, gb''s anders dergleichen, mchtest du
dein Glck erkaufen? Und glaubst du, dann
'

wre deine Schuld, gab' es dergleichen, geringer? Glaubst du, diese Schuld- gab' es
dergleichen- laste nicht schon auf dir?
Glaubst du, dieser Adler sei dir geschenkt?
(Den Adler ausspreizend.)

Max. Furchtbar, wenn du Recht httest!

Caspar. Sonderbar, wie.du fragst! Doch Undank
ist der Welt Lohn.- Ich will mir hier einen
Flederwisch abhauen, dass ich wenigstens etwas davon trage. (haut einen Flge] ab). Drollig,
um Agathen zu trsten, wagtest du den
Schuss,- sie zu erwerben, fehlt es dir an
Herzhaftigkeit. Das wrde sich das Wachspppchen das mich um deinetwillen verwarf,
schwerlich einbilden.- (Fr sich.) Es soll gercht werden !.,
Max. Elender! Muth hab' ich!
Caspar. So bewhr' ihn! Brauchtest du schon eine Freikugel, so ist's ja ein KinderspieLwelche zu giessen.Was dir bevorsteht ohne diese
Hlfe, kannst du aus deinen bisherigen Fehlschssen leicht abnehmen. Das Mdchen ist
auf dich versessen, kann ohne dich nicht le ben. Sie wird verzweifeln, du wirst allen
Menschen ein Spott, herumschleichen, viel ,

aus Verzweiflung-(drekt sich die Faust in

die Augen)- schme dich, rauher Waidmann,
dass du ihn mehr liebst, als er sich selbst!
(Fr sich.) Hilf zu, Samiei!
Max. Agathe sterben! Ich in einen Abgrund
springen!- Ja, das wre das Ende!_(Giebt Caspar die Hand.) Bei Agathens Leben, ich komme!

Max.

Caspar. It was the last; there were just enough. (Pause.)

Max. Why are you so silent all at once? Just
enough! what do you mean by that?
Caspar. I mean that more are to be had tonight.

Max. To-night?
Caspar. Yes, to-night! Just now, for three days
running, the sun stands in the sign of the
Archer, and to-day is the. middle one; today, at the turn of the year, there is a total
your
eclipse of the moon. Max! comrade!
fate is under the influence of a lucky star.
You are chosen for great things. In the very
night before the day for the trial- shot, when
you are to win your title and your bride, and
so sorely need help, Nature herself offers to
serve you!
Max. Be it so! Such is my fate! Get me one of

those bullets!
Caspar. More than you wjint. But does a man
need a guardian?
Max. How can one get them?
Caspar. I wiU show you. Be in the Wolf's Glen
on the stroke of twelve.
Max. At midnight in the Wolf's Glen? No! The
Glen has an ill name, and at midnight the
gates of Hell are opened.
Caspar. Bah!- As you please!- And still- I
cannot abandon you to your evil star. I am
your friend; I will help mould the bullets.

Max. Not that, either!

Caspar. Good! become the laughing-stock of
the country to -morrow; lose the Rangership, and Agnes!- I am your friend; I will
mould the bullets for j'ou mj'self, but .you
must be there, too.
Max. You have a smooth tongue.- No! an honest huntsman dare not think of such things.
Caspar. Coward! Only through another's danger- if any there be_ would you win happiness! And think you that the blame- if any
there be_ would be the less yours? Think you
that the crime- if such there be- is not yours
already? Think you that this eagle was given
you for nothing? (Spreading out the eagle.)
Max. Terrible!- if you say true!
Caspar. Strange, that you can ask! But ingratitude is the world's reward.- Well, I'll cut
off a feather- duster, to make at least so
much out of it (cuts off a wing). Queer! to
console Agnes, you ventured the shot; to
win her, your heart fails you. That wax doll,
who threw me over for love of you, would
hardly imagine that! (Aside.) It shall be avenged!
Max. Wretch! I am no coward!
Caspar. Prove it, then! Having shot a charmed
bullet, 'twill be child's play to mould others.
After missing so often, you can easily guess
what awaits you without their aid. The girl
loves you to distraction; she can't live without you. She will fall a prey to despair; and
you will sneak about, taunted by everybodyand perhaps, in your desperation- (with his
clenched hands at his eyes, as if weeping)

for

shame, you rough woodsman, that you should

care more for him than he does for himself
(Aside.) Help along, Zamiel!
Max. Agnes die! I throw myself down the
rocks! Ay, that would be the end! (Gives Caspar his hand.) By Agnes' life! I will come!
Zamiel (appears, nods and vanishes).
Caspar. Not a word to anyone! it might mean
danger for us both. I shall await you on
the stroke of twelve!
I betray you? On the stroke of twelve!
I
shall come! (Exit hastily) (it has grown quite dark.)

Max.

- Schelm,

halt' fest!"

A narrow

antechamber in the forester's house, with two sidi'- doors. Dark tapestry on the walls; deers' antlers ana
hunting- spears give the place an antiquated appearance, and show that the mansion was formerly a princely huntinglodge. In the centre a curtained doorway, leading to a balcony. On one side Annie's spinning-wheel, on the other
a large table, npon which lies a white dress trimmed with green; a small lamp is burning on the table, beside It
a flower- pot with white roses.
Flutes, Clarinets in A, Horns in A, Bassoons

Strings.

How lonely it seems here!
Annie. Well, there are pleasanter places to
spend the eve of a wedding-day in than a
haunted old castle where not a living soul is
stirring, especially when venerable gentlemen
who have long mouldered in their tombs
take it into their heads to come down upon
us without warning! Give me young men

Agathe. Wer weiss? doch ich gnne dir's von

ganz kummerlos; hesonders als ich heute

von dem Eremiten zurckkam, hat mir's
wie ein Stein auf dem Herzen gelegen.
Jetzt fhle ich mich um Vieles leichter.
Aennchen. Wie so, erzhle doch! Noch weiss
ich gar nicht, wie dein Besuch ahgelaufen

Greis

Aennchen. Wie war's, wenn ich sie in die

Agathe. Thue das, liebes Aennchen.

how I like to hear you talk,

Agnes; be gay, as I intend to be when I
do wear it.
Agnes. I hope j-ou may; yet, who knows? To
judge from my own, a bridal wreath may
not be entirely without thorns. But my heart
is lighter now; this morning, when I
returned from the hermit, I felt a heavy load
oppress me.
Annie. How was that? tell me about it. All
I know is that the holy man gave you these

Agnes. I doubly prize these roses he gave me,

and will tend them carefully.
Annie. Shall I put them in the cool night air,

Agnes. Do so, dear Annie.

(The Wolf's Glen.)

A, Bassoons, Horns in D in C, Trumpets

Flutes & Piccolo, Oboes, Clarinets in

in C, 3 Trombones, Kettledrums &
Strings.
A weird, cragg-y glen, surrounded by high mountains, down the side of one of which falls a cascade. To the left
a blasted tree, on the knotty branch of which an owl is sitting. To the right a steep path by which Max comes -below it a great cave. The moon throws a lurid light over all.
few battered pine-trees are scattered here and
there. Caspar, in shirt- sleeves^ is making a circle of black stones; a skull is in the centre: near by a ladle, a
bullet- mould, and an eagle's wing. A thunderstorm is coming on.

Max. Nein, das ist wider die Abrede.
Caspar. [Nicht? So bleib' ausser dem Kreise, sonst kostet's dein Leben!
Max. Was hab' ich zu thun, Hexenmeister?]
Caspar. Fasse Muth! Was du auch hren und sehen magst, verhalte dich
ruhig. (Mit eigenem heimlichen Graasen.) Kme vielleicht ein Unbekannter, uns
zu helfen, was kmmert's dich? Kommt was anders, was thut's? So etwas sieht ein Gescheidter gar nicht
Max. 0, wie wird das enden!
Caspar. Umsonst ist der Tod! Nicht ohne Widerstand schenken verborgene Naturen den Sterblichen ihre Schtze. Nur wenn du mich selbst zittern sidist,dann

Max (macht eine Bewegung des Einwurfs).
Caspar. StiU! Die Augenblicke sind kostbar! (Der Mond ist bis auf einen schmalen Streif verfinstert. Caspar nimmt die Oiesskelle.) Merk' auf, [waS ich hinein

Caspar (tosses Mm the hunting-flask, which Max lays aside). First take a drink!
The night air is cool and damp. Will you mould the bullets yourself?
Max. No, our agreement was different.
Caspar.[No? Then stay outside the circle; 'twill cost your life else!
Max. What have I to do, Master Warlock?]
Caspar. Take heart! Whatever you see or hear, keep quiet. (With a secret shudder.) Should a stranger come to help us, what need you care? If anything
else comes, what of it? A clever fellow doesn't notice such things!
Max. Oh, how will this end?!
Caspar. Nothing venture, no thingwin! Nature does not yield her secret treasures without resistance. Come to my aid only when you see thati mysel:^

Genug nun der Freuden des Mahles,

Cuno, getroffen,- der von euch erwhlte Eidam

friends and fellow-huntsmen! Let us turn to
a serious matter. I gladly approve the choice
you have made, my brave old Cuno; your
intended son-in-law pleases me.
Cuno. I can speak only the best of Tiim in every
way, and he, assuredly, will always endeavor
to prove worthy of your favor.

Cuno, Like your illustrious ancestors,
your
Royal Highness has ever been gracious to
me and mine.
Max (holding the bullet in the palm of his hand, and
gazing fixedly at it). I saved you tl the last,
you sure and lucky bullet! But now my hand
can hardly bear your weight.
Cuno, To judge by the time, my daughter should
soon be here. But if your Royal Highness
will grant me the favor, let the trial -shot,
be fired before she comes. The good lad
has had remarkably bad luck of late; [to be
sure, the happy day was drawing nearer all
the whilej]
and I fear that the presence
of the bride might disturb him.
Ottokar, Indeed, for a forester he hardly seems
to be cool-blooded enough. As long as I
watched liim from a distance, he made three
masterly shots; but since the moment that I
had him called, he has missed.
Cuno. That cannot be denied; yet a while ago
he was the best of the marksmen.
Ottokar, Who knows, old friend, whether either
of us would have done better on his weddingday!
[Still, old customs should be honored;
besides (laughingly and raising his voice, so
that Max may hear), you have another, older
ranger, who should take precedence- at least
as far as years go.

aber seit dem Augenblicke, da ich ihn rufen

Cuno. Das steht nicht zu leugnen, und doch war
