Hast thou not, O sullen king, served me and mine? and hast thou not wrested the earth from thy Lord who sittest above and given it to me by darkening the souls of men with the religion of fear?
The voices of the choristers rose higher, triumphantly: "Genitori, genitoque, Laus et jubilatio, Salus, honor, virtus quoque, Sit et benedictio." Oh, that is more than any patience can endure! God, Who sittest on the brazen heavens enthroned, and smilest with bloody lips, looking down upon agony and death, is it not enough? Is it not enough, without this mockery of praise and blessing?
Hail to thee, my parent! as thou sittest there, in thy widow’s weeds, in the dusky parlour in the house overgrown with the lustrous ivy of the sister isle, the solitary house at the end of the retired court shaded by lofty poplars.

Dost understand, girl, that the Black Death is at our very doors that all our people are flying from us? And yet thou sittest there with thy book, as though this were a time for idle fooling. I am fair distraught thy father and brother away and all! Canst thou not say something? Hast thou no feeling for thy mother?

"WEINHEIM, 17th August, 1734. So will it be with me, poor devil; for I go dawdling about with this Army here; and the French will have the better of us. What most provokes me in the matter is, that while we are here in such a wilderness of trouble, doing our utmost, by military labors and endurances, to make ourselves heroic, thou sittest, thou devil, at home!
