George Goetz's Selbitz Faud Selbitz: Let me rest here!—and back to your master; back to Goetz! Selbitz: Faud: Let me stay with you. I am no good below; they have hammered my old bones till I can scarcely move. (Exit soldiers.) Here from the wall I can watch the fight. Faud: Selbitz: What do you see? Selbitz: Faud: Your horsemen are turning tail. I can see Goetz's three black feathers in the midst of the turmoil. Woe, he has fallen! And George's blue plume has disappeared! Sickingen's horsemen in flight! Ha! I see Goetz again! And George! Victory! Victory! They are routed! Goetz is after them—he has seized their flag! The fugitives are coming here! Oh! what will they do with you? Faud: Selbitz: Come down and draw! My sword is ready. I'll make it hot for them, even sitting or lying down! Selbitz: [Enter imperial troops. Selbitz and Faud defend themselves until Lerse comes to their rescue, attacking the soldiers furiously, killing some and putting the rest to flight. Enter Goetz, George, a troop of armed men.
