Wearying at last, even of this subordinate part, I fell into a kind of half doze. The words of a student song he continued to sing without ceasing for above an hour being the last waking thought on my memory. Less as a souvenir of the singer than a specimen of its class I give here a rough translation of the well-known Burschen melody called
Which is always done, on the part of the Prussian Burschen; though sometimes not, without difficulty. His Majesty is forming Magazines at Neisse, Brieg, and the principal Fortresses in those parts; driving on all manner of preparations at the rapidest rate of speed, and looking with his own eyes into everything.
That we may have a notion of Sand's dutifulness to his parents, it should be said that he did not set out until he had obtained his mother's permission. On their return, Sand, Dittmar, and their friends the Burschen, found their Ruttli sacked by their enemies of the Landmannschaft; the house that they had built was demolished and its fragments dispersed.
By what a fury that man is possessed against the Burschen and against all who love Germany!" Thus for the first time and in these terms Sand's journal presents the name of the man who, eighteen months later, he was to slay.
These 'foxes' are young students who have just joined, and who are not admitted to the rank of fellows until they have fought a certain number of times. They are raised to the higher dignity after a ballot, at which they are not present, and the term of probation generally lasts six months, or one term. The fellows, or Burschen, are full-fledged Korps students, eligible to become officers.

Continual bickerings and skirmishings fell out, sometimes rising to sharp fight on the small scale: Austrian grenadiers with cannon are on that Height to left, and also on this to right, meaning to cut off our march; the difficult landscape furnished out, far and wide, with Pandour companies in position: you must clash in, my Burschen; seize me that cannon-battery yonder; master such and such a post, there is the heart of all that network of armed doggery; slit asunder that, the network wholly will tumble over the Hills again.
Gall, Sand reached Tubingen, to which he had been principally attracted by the reputation of Eschenmayer; he spent that winter quietly, and no other incident befell than his admission into an association of Burschen, called the Teutonic; then came tester of 1815, and with it the terrible news that Napoleon had landed in the Gulf of Juan.
