Da sie so lange auf dieses attraktive Bild schauten, können sie sich in der kleinen Ablenkung, die in der Partei stattgefunden hat, nicht einlassen, um die charmante Hoffnung aufzugeben: Aber mit gieriger Angst hetzen sie um ihn, stützen ihn und geben ihm Märsche, Siegeszüge und Empfänge, über das hinaus, was sie selbst in den Tagen seines höchsten Wohlstands zu seinen Gunsten hätten herbeiführen können.
