Friedrich Schiller — The Death of Wallenstein Act 4 Scene 14

THEKLA, LADY NEUBRUNN, the DUCHESS. DUCHESS. He's gone! I find thee more composed, my child. THEKLA. I am so, mother; let me only now Retire to rest, and Neubrunn here be with me. I want repose. DUCHESS. My Thekla, thou shalt have it. I leave thee now consoled, since I can calm Thy father's heart. THEKLA. Good night, beloved mother! (Falling on her neck and embracing her with deep emotion). DUCHESS. Thou scarcely art composed e'en now, my daughter. Thou tremblest strongly, and I feel thy heart Beat audibly on mine. THEKLA. Sleep will appease Its beating: now good-night, good-night, dear mother. (As she withdraws from her mother's arms the curtain falls).
