Seven colossal figures, representing the planets, each with a transparent star of different color on its head, stand in a semicircle in the background, so that Mars and Saturn are nearest the eye. The remainder of the scene and its disposition is given in the fourth scene of the second act. There must be a curtain over the figures, which may be dropped and conceal them on occasions. [In the fifth scene of this act it must be dropped; but in the seventh scene it must be again drawn up wholly or in part.] WALLENSTEIN at a black table, on which, a speculum astrologicum is described with chalk. SENI is taking observations through a window. WALLENSTEIN. All well-and now let it be ended, Seni. Come, The dawn commences, and Mars rules the hour; We must give o'er the operation. Come, We know enough. SENI. Your highness must permit me Just to contemplate Venus. She is now rising Like as a sun so shines she in the east.
