from German paper: 81

vasiopol was current, rich nobleman from
the town OF S., on the frontier of Gacia,
received letter announcing the fall of Se-
vaslopol and the burning Of Odessa He had
some friends with him at the same time to
whom he communicated the contents, re-
guessing them, however, not to mention it,
Unfortunately his wishes were disregarded,
and in a few hours nothing in all Warsaw
was spoken of but the burning of Odessa

During the time the burning Of Odessa and

And the sweet buds of love and truth

And round our hearts the wreath III bind,
