Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Imaginary Conversations The Abbot of Boxley was on his road to Haguenau in search of Richard, and the appearance of the church-tower in the horizon had begun to accelerate his pace, when he perceived a tall pilgrim at a distance, waving his staff towards some soldiers who would have advanced before him: they drew back. "He may know something of the Lion-heart," said the abbot, spurred his horse onward, and in an instant threw himself at the pilgrim´s feet, who raised and embraced him affectionately. Abbot, O my King, my King! the champion of our faith at the mercy of a prince unworthy to hold his stirrup! The conqueror of Palestine led forth on foot, a captive! - a captive of those he commanded and protected! Could Saladin see it - Richard, The only prince in the universe who would draw his sword for me against the ruffian of Austria. He alone is worthy to rescue me, who hath proved himself worthy to fight me. I might have foreseen this insult. What sentiment of magnanimity, of honor, of humanity, ever warmed an Austrian bosom? Tell me, declare to me. Abbot, speak it out at once, is this the worst of my misfortunes? Groans burst from me; they cleave my heart; my own English, I hear, have forsaken me: my brother John is preferred to me, - I am lost indeed.
