Johann Philipp, Count von Cobenzl, enjoys, not only in his own country, but through all Europe, a great reputation as a statesman, and has for a number of years been employed by his Court in the most intricate and delicate political transactions.
And Ruth, Ruth! Did she still care for him, had Philipp described her correctly? He went to the count without delay, and found him at home. Philipp received him cordially, yet with evident timidity and embarrassment. Ulrich too was grave, for he had to inform his companion of his mother's death. "So that is settled," said the count. "Your father is a gnarled old tree, a real obstinate Swabian.
I have found it; and you shall enjoy with me what it procures. First help me appease my father; I shall succeed, if you aid me. It will doubtless be a hard task. He could not bring himself to forgive his poor wife Count Philipp says so; but now! You see, Ruth, my mother died a few days ago; she was a dear, loving woman and might have deserved a better fate.
Turning to all the people with the same smile, she continues: "You will not believe what queer desires, what cunning, malicious little thoughts we women have. It was I who persuaded my husband to kill Philipp. Yes, yes he did not want to do it, but I urged him; I cried so much and threatened him, so he consented. Men always give in isn't that true, Desfoso?"
"Hippolytus Romanus," Dict. Christ. Polycarp seems to refer to Simon in the following passage in his Epistle Ad Philipp. In treating of eschatology and the beginning of things the human mind is ever beset with the same difficulties, and no matter how grand may be the effort of the intellect to transcend itself, the finite must ever fail to comprehend the infinite.
At his departure Philipp tried to induce the Eletto to change his course betimes, for he was following a dangerous path; but Ulrich laughed in his face, exclaiming: "You know I have found the right word, and shall use it to the end. You were born to power in a small way; I have won mine myself, and shall not rest until I am permitted to exercise it on a great scale, nay, the grandest.
His heart throbbed faster and more anxiously, but suddenly seemed to stand still, for a low voice had called his name. "Ulrich!" it whispered again, and the young count, who lay beside him, rose in bed and bent towards him. Ulrich had told him about the word, and often indulged in wishes with him, as he had formerly done with Ruth. Philipp now whispered: "They are going to attack the doctor.
I think that it is jolly even in hell, but in a different way. It is two years since you have stopped growing, Philipp. That isn't good." Philipp answers gruffly: "Grass also stops growing if a stone falls upon it." "What is still worse than that worms begin to breed under the rock." Mariet says softly, sadly and entreatingly: "Don't you want me to call you Mariet?"
But he certainly had opportunities for seeing operas nearer home. There had been many German operas performed at Halle itself during the twenty years before Handel's birth, and Duke Johann Adolf opened an opera-house at Weissenfels in 1685, in which Philipp Krieger produced German operas regularly for the next thirty years.
"But" says the abbot, and there is a note of entreaty in his heavy voice. "But it may be that you are already repenting, Haggart? You are a splendid man, Gart. I know you; when you are sober you cannot hurt even a fly. Perhaps you were intoxicated that happens with young people and Philipp may have said something to you, and you " "No." "No? Well, then, let it be no. Am I not right, children?
