"Under my rule it shall be brought to pass, that potatoes and small-beer shall be con sidered a holiday treat; and woe to him who meets my eye with the audacious front of health. Haggard want, and crouching fear, are my insignia; and in this livery I will clothe ye."("In meinem Gebiet soll's soweit kommen, das Kartoffeln und Dünnbier ein Traktament für Festtage werden, und wehe dem, der mir mit vollen feurigen Backen unter die Augen tritt! Blässe der Armut und sklavische Furcht sind meine Leibf arbe; in diese Livrei will ich euch kleiden.")
