The HARLUNGSBERG, in our time MARIENBERG, pleasant Hill near Brandenburg, with its gardens, vines, and whitened cottages: on the top of this Harlungsherg the Wends "set up their god Triglaph;" a three-headed Monster of which I have seen prints, beyond measure ugly.
This these victorious Wends set up on the Harlungsberg, Year 1023; and worshipped after their sort, benighted mortals, with joy, for a time. The Ditmarschers recovered the place; and with some fighting, did in the main at least keep Triglaph and the Wends out of it in time coming. The Wends were fiercely troublesome, and fought much; but I think they never actually got hold of Brandenburg again.
That wholesome Dutch cabbages continued to be more and more planted, and peat-mire, blending itself with waste sand, became available for Christian mankind, intrusive Chaos, and especially Divine TRIGLAPH and his ferocities being well held aloof: this, after all, is the real History of our Markgraves; and of this, by the nature of the case, Dryasdust can say nothing.
