They had also fallen into the habit of borrowing money; pawning, redeeming, a good deal, with Teutsch Ritters and others. Then they puddled considerably, and to their loss, seldom choosing the side that proved winner, in the general broils of the Reich, which at that time, as we have seen, was unusually anarchic. None of the successfulest of Markgraves latterly.
He then praises the power of all herbs: "Vom Himmel kam der Krauter Schar Geflogen, und da sprechen sie; Wen wir noch lebend treffen an Der Mann soll frei von Schaden sein." Finally the speaker singles out one herb as superior to all others: "Die Krauter viel in Soma's Reich Die hundertfach verstandigen, Von denen bist das beste du Erfullst den Wunsch, und heilst das Herz."
Prussia has always its King, and his unrivalled talent; but that is pretty much the only fixed item: Prussia VERSUS France, Austria, Russia, Sweden and the German Reich, what is it as a field of supplies for war! Except its King, these are failing, year by year; and at a rate fatally SWIFT in comparison.
Reducing more and more that famishing dog-kennel of a Brandenburg into a fruitful arable field. His portraits represent a square headed, mild-looking solid gentleman, with a certain twinkle of mirth in the serious eyes of him. Except in those Hussite wars for Kaiser Sigismund and the Reich, in which no man could prosper, he may be defined as constantly prosperous.
But from that to Karl VI., and HIS Holy Romish Reich in such a state of 'Holiness' !" I here cut short my abstruse Friend. Readers are impatient to have done with these miscellaneous preludings, and to be once definitely under way, such a Journey lying ahead. Yes, readers; a Journey indeed!
"Oh, Kagig how shall they reich Zeitoon? The cursed Turks have ordered out the soldiers and are sending regiments " "I warned they would!" "The cavalry are hunting down fugitives along the roads!" "As I foretold a hundred times!" "They were sent to protect Armenians " "That is always the excuse!" "And they kill kill kill! A dozen of them hunted me for two miles, until I hid in a watercourse!
One of the gladdest days Albert had yet seen, was when he got the 8,000 sent home again. What then is to be done? "Armistice for four years," Sigismund was still kind enough to consent to that: "Truce for four years: try everywhere, my poor Nephew; after that, your mind will perhaps become pliant." Albert tried the Reich again: "Four years, O Princes, and then I must do it, or be eaten!"
For instance, one thing he had at once ordered: "Your Bill of a Million-and-half to the Russians, don't pay it, or any part of it! When Bamberg was ransomed, Spring gone a year, Reich and Kaiser, did they respect our Bill we had on Bamberg? Did not they cancel it, and flatly refuse?" Friedrich is positive on the point, "Reprisal our clear remedy!"
To govern the Holy Roman Empire, poor soul or rather "to drink beer and dance with the girls"; in which, if defective in other things, Wenzel had an eminent talent. He was one of the worst kaisers and the least victorious on record. He would attend to nothing in the Reich; "the Prag white beer, and girls" of various complexion, being much preferable, as he was heard to say.
That is his intention, if the gods permit. Joint-King of Bohemia, to be Kaiser of the Holy Romish Reich. Friedrich's envoy protested; as did Kur-Pfalz's, with still more vehemence, and then withdrew to Hanau: the other Seven voted September 13th 1745: and it was done. A new Kaiser, Franz Stephan, or Franz I., with our blessing on him, if that can avail much. But I fear it cannot.
