Me, whom Radziwill had called ‘my dear’! Me, who, when I rode forth from my hamlet, had led with me a train more numerous than a prince’s! And when I drew my sabre, then many thousand sabres had glittered round about, striking terror to the lords’ castles,—But now the very children of the peasant boors laughed at me!
