Jason went back sadly, and told the heroes what he had heard. And they leapt on shore, and searched till dawn; and at dawn they found the body, all rolled in dust and blood, amongst the corpses of those monstrous beasts. And they wept over their kind host, and laid him on a fair bed, and heaped a huge mound over him, and offered black sheep at his tomb, and Orpheus sang a magic song to him, that his spirit might have rest. And then they held games at the tomb, after the custom of those times, and Jason gave prizes to each winner. To Anceus he gave a golden cup, for he wrestled best of all; and to Herakles a silver one, for he was the strongest of all; and to Castor, who rode best, a golden crest; and Polydeuces the boxer had a rich carpet, and to Orpheus for his song was given a sandal with golden wings. But Jason himself was the best of all the archers, and the

Minuai crowned him with an olive crown; and 80, the
songs say, the soul of good Cyzicus was appeased, and the
heroes went on their way in
peace.

Mon père et ma mère," dit Mistriss Hutchinson dans ses
mémoires, "me trouvant assez belle alors et plus intelli-
gente qu'on ne l'est communément, s'occupèrent de moi
avec un soin particulier, et n'épargnèrent aucune dépense
pour me donner une éducation distinguée, ce qui me rendit
de fort bonne heure un objet d'admiration pour toutes les
personnes qui voulaient flatter la tendresse paternelle. . . .
Je me souviens que vers l'âge de sept ans, j'ai eu pendant
quelque temps huit maîtres à la fois, maîtres de langues,
de musique, de danse, d'écriture, d'ouvrages à l'aiguille.
. . . J'aimais mieux un livre que tout cela... et j'allais
me cacher partout où je pouvais trouver moyen de lire à
mon aise.
Mon père voulut me faire apprendre le
latin, et malgré l'incapacité de mon maître, qui était le
chapelain de la maison, je réussis à dépasser mes frères
qui allaient à l'école.
Ma mère aurait fait meilleur
marché de ce genre d'études et aurait désiré que je me
livrasse avec plus d'ardeur à d'autres objets. Je fis peu
de progrès dans la musique, et dans la danse; je ne
touchais jamais à mon luth ni à ma harpe que lorsque
mon maître arrivait; et quant à mon aiguille, je la
détestais absolument. Je dédaignais aussi de jouer avec
les autres enfants; quand j'étais forcée de m'entretenir
avec ceux qui venaient me voir, je les fatiguais de discours
plus graves que ceux même de leurs mères.

(b) Seven years, my lord, have now passed since I waited in your outward rooms, or was repulsed from your door; during which time I have been pushing on my work through difficulties of which it is useless to complain, and have brought it, at last, to the verge of publication, without one act of assistance, one word of encouragement, or one smile of favour. Such treatment I did not expect, for

I never had a patron before.

Es waren schwere Zeiten. Nicht nur die brandenburgischen Länder, sondern ganz Deutschland batte der unselige Krieg in einen Trümmerbaufen verwandelt, und unter diesen verzweifelten Umständen trat Friedrich Wilhelm im Alter von nur 20 Jabren die Regierung an. Alle Hoffnung auf Frieden und Wiedergeburt schien geschwunden, und da war es der Kurfürst, der dem abgestorbenen Körper neues Leben einzuflößen verstand. Seine Verdienste um sein Land baben ibm mit Recht den Beinamen des Großen Kurfürsten eingetragen; mit allen Herrschertugenden ausgestattet, wurde er recht eigentlich der Begründer eines einheitlich regierten, mächtigen Preußischen Staates, auf dem sich in einer fpäteren Zeit das neue Deutsche Reich erbeben fonnte. Als Feldberr stand er einzig da, und sein Heer war stets das schlagfertigste von der gesammten deutschen Reichsarmee. Aber er war auch ein geschickter Diplomat, und schon im Anfang seiner Regierung batte er sich durch sein entscheidendes Auftreten die Achtung Aller verschafft.
