A witness, teaching me the art of letters;
A day will come when some laborious monk
Will bring to light my zealous,
nameless
toil,
Kindle, as I, his lamp, and from the parchment
Shaking the dust of ages will transcribe
My true narrations, that posterity
The bygone fortunes of the orthodox
Of their own land may learn, will mention make
Of their great tsars, their labours, glory, goodness--
And humbly for their sins, their evil deeds,
Implore the Saviour's mercy.

of the Berlin Court at that period, the love for
parades, the bestowing of military decorations,
which were
stigmatized
by the liberals as "Russian
manners," were simply due to the personal pre-
dilection of the King, and it is difficult to decide
whether Russia has learnt more in this respect
from Germany, or vice versa.

They did what freemen can,
Their dauntless ways did all men praise,
