Arnold Of Melchthal Monologue from Wilhelm Tell

From Wilhelm Tell by Friedrich Schiller

male · dramatic · 55 sec

What! Stands the fortress still, when Sarnen lies In ashes, and the Rossberg's in our hands? (FURST: You, Melchthal, here? D'ye bring us liberty? Are all the Cantons from our tyrants freed?) We've swept them from the soil. Rejoice, my friend, Now, at this very moment, while we speak, There's not one tyrant left in Switzerland! (FURST: How did you get the forts into your power?) Rudenz it was who by a bold assault With manly valour mastered Sarnen's keep. The Rossberg I had storm'd the night before. But hear, what chanced. Scarce had we driven the foe Forth from the keep, and given it to the flames, That now rose crackling upwards to the skies, When from the blaze rush'd Diethelm, Gessler's page, Exclaiming, "Lady Bertha will be burnt!"
