Updated: June 2, 2025

Schiller had sung of Wilhelm Tell; and the men of Schwyz remembered him on that occasion, too, on the Rütli, with their confederates from Oberwalden and Niederwalden. On the afternoon of the 11th of November, they met at Brunnen, on the lake, as we have said, the men of Schwyz embarking in one great boat, amidst peals of music, while numberless little canoes received the others.
