His grandson, August, enlisted under Bernhard of Saxe-Weimar; afterwards he fought in the religious wars in France and Germany, always on the Protestant side; lastly, he took service under the Elector of Brandenburg. It was in his lifetime that a great change began to take place which was to alter the whole life of his descendants.
Most of them joined in the applause which the younger Granvelle eagerly commenced when the city pipers lowered their instruments. Barbara heard it, and saw that Bernhard Trainer and other young citizens of Ratisbon were following the courtiers' example, but she seemed scarcely to notice the demonstration.
Bernhard ten Brink agreed with Karl Müllenhoff, that, on the one hand, there is really no similarity between the Beowulf story and Saxo's account of Bjarki, in which the blood-drinking episode is the main point, and, on the other, between Saxo's account and that in the Hrólfssaga, which has too much the nature of a fairy tale to be ancient tradition.
Those who wander there are not averse to the pleasures of the world like St. Bernhard, and every one after his own manner reads a different meaning in their song. The High Cross at Godesberg

We can look into the picture, through it, and beyond it, as if we were standing in the presence of nature.

With so great a disparity of force he could not offer battle, but in every way he harassed and interrupted the advance of the Imperialists, while he sent pressing messages to Oxenstiern for men and money, and to Marshal Horn, who commanded in Alsace, to beg him march with all haste to his assistance. Unfortunately Horn and Duke Bernhard were men of extremely different temperaments.
Duke Bernhard was utterly disconsolate for old Gustavus Horn, for he concluded him killed; he tore the hair from his head like a madman, and telling the Rhinegrave the story of the council of war, would reproach himself with not taking his advice, often repeating it in his passion.
It poised for an instant above the child's fair head then turned to fall. One keen cry shrilled out from where the women stood: "Me! take me! not Bernhard!" The flight of the mother toward her child was swift as the falcon's swoop. But swifter still was the hand of the deliverer. Winfried's heavy staff thrust mightily against the hammer's handle as it fell.
I think that we should ask each of them to tell us a story. To the one who entertains us the better I shall give the muffler I am knitting." This proposal won hearty applause. The two competitors offered lame excuses, naturally, but were quickly persuaded. Clement asked Bernhard to begin, and he did not object.
