said that cunning fellow in the latter town, aware
Of the Kings propensity to break bounds of night,
addressed him in the market place. where he lay in
wait for the royal ruant, and offered him a OF
aggerated homage. This so pleased the King that he
made speech TO the rogue, of hours duration, in
which he recapitulated all his ideas upon the subject
of united German Empire upon feudal institutions,
