He was, however, a pious Prince, and much beloved at his dower of Ruegenwald, where he spent his time in making a little library of all the Lutheran hymn-books which he could collect, and these he carried with him in his carriage wherever he went; so that his subjects of Ruegenwald shed many tears at losing so pious a ruler.
