Frederick the Great returned to Berlin covered with glory, and definitively master of Silesia.
It is as if a play of Shakespeare's were rewritten each time it is performed with all the changes of emphasis and meaning that the actors and audience inspired.

He tried to gain the favor of the great statesman, who refused to aid the former diamond merchant in gratifying political ambitions cherished from an early age. It was a bitter disappointment to the persevering man, who, having tried his luck in Prussia, emigrated definitively to Vienna.
Others even said, "Your life!" The military accounts were handed to the captains, read to the soldiers, and definitively approved. Then they claimed tents; they received them.
