As the peace-maker's work was already drawing to a close, the wounded lad, pointing with his sound hand in the direction of the school, suddenly called warningly: "There comes Herr von Nordwyk. Let the Glipper go, or there will be trouble." Paul Van Swieten again clasped his wounded arm with his right hand and ran swiftly around the church.
To rise against the King was from the first a wicked deed to fight against famine, the plague and death is sin and madness. May God be with you, men!" "The burgomaster is sensible," cried a cloth-dyer. "Van Swieten and Norden think as he does, but Meister Peter rules through the Prince's favor.
Frantic with fury, wild with rage and shame, he snatched the dagger from his belt. The boys now raised a frightful yell, and two of them rushed upon Nicolas to wrest the weapon from him. This was quickly accomplished; the dagger flew on the pavement, but Van Swieten sprang back with a low cry, for the sharp blade had struck his arm, and the bright blood streamed on the ground.
No other teacher of modern times has had such a following. Among his favorite pupils may be mentioned Haller, the physiologist, and van Swieten and de Haen, the founders of the Vienna school. In Italy, too, there were men who caught the new spirit, and appreciated the value of combining morbid anatomy with clinical medicine.
"It was late one winter afternoon," says an old record, "before the coffin was deposited on the side aisles on the south side of St. Stephen's. Van Swieten, Salieri, Süssmaier, and two unknown musicians were the only persons present besides the officiating priest and the pall-bearers.

She went on for some time, while Van Swieten and the emperor followed her movements with anxious looks. Finally sire spoke. "Well, my son," said she, coming close to Joseph, and smiling fondly upon him, "I yield to you as co-regent of Austria.
And there, with one hired nurse, whom the humane Van Swieten had procured from a hospital, lay the wife of the Emperor of Austria. No loving hand smoothed the pillow beneath her burning head or held the cooling cup to her blood-stained lips; no friendly voice whispered words of sympathy; no familiar face bent over her with looks of pity. Alone and forsaken, as she had lived, so must she die!
Ere they had half done admiring it, a strange voice was heard at the door. By one of the furtive instincts of their sex they hastily hid the picture in the cloth, though there was no need, And the next moment in came, casting his eyes furtively around, a man that had not entered the house this ten years Ghysbrecht Van Swieten.
"But she has not asked for your majesty," persisted Van Swieten. "Wherefore " But suddenly he stopped, and a cry of horror was stifled between his lips. He had seen upon the forehead and cheeks of the empress those small, dark spots which revealed to his experienced eye that it was too late to shield her from infection. Maria Theresa was too excited to remark the paleness of Van Swieten.
Lately it has dropped out of the repertories of London and provincial choral societies. Fashions in sacred music, like fashions in popular preachers, have a trick of changing. No sooner was The Creation fairly launched on a fairly long career than van Swieten wanted another oratorio.
