(1) Die Fahrt war die angenehmste. Eine malerische Landschaft, die mit jeder Krümmung des Flusses sich an Reichthum und Schönheit zu übertreffen schien, reizende Gärten und geschmackvolle Landhäuser ohne Zahl, welche beide Ufer der Brenta schmücken, hinter uns das majestätische Venedig, mit hundert aus dem Wasser springenden Thürmen und Masten, alles dies gab uns das herrlichste Schauspiel von der Welt. Eine lustige Musik schallte uns entgegen, als wir einige italienische Meilen von der Stadt ans Land stiegen. Sie kam aus einem kleinen Dorfe, wo eben Jahrmarkt gehalten wurde; hier wimmelte es von Gesellschaft aller Art. Ein Trupp junger Mädchen und Knaben alle theatralisch gekleidet, bewillkommte uns mit einem pantomimischen Tanz. Ehe der Tanz noch völlig zu Ende war, schien die Anführerin desselben, welche eine Königin vorstellte, plötzlich wie von einem unsichtbaren Arme gehalten. Die Musik schwieg. Ein König ist unter uns' rief sie, riss ihre Krone vom Haupt und legte sie-zu den Füssen des Prinzen.

Frag mich nicht,
Sind auf Erden doch

Zwei Orte nur für mich! Ein Himmel, wo
Du bist; und wo du nicht bist, eine Wüste,
Und dahin geht mein Weg; der Sohn der Wildniss,
Zurück zur Mutter lenk ich meinen Schritt;
Sie gab mir Treue als mein Erbtheil mit
Und schützend will ich jenen sie bewahren,
Die meine Brüder sind, wenn auch Barbaren !
Denn ohne Treue schwankt, ein Kahn im Meer,
Ein Rohr im Wind, die Seele hin und her.

(3) König Jakob gab seinem Ross den Sporn,
Bergan jetzt gieng sein Ritt,

Graf Douglas fasste den Zügel vorn,
Und hielt mit dem König Schritt.

'König Jakob, ich war Dein Seneschall,
Ich will es nicht fürder sein,

Ich will nur tränken Dein Ross im Stall,
Und ihm schütten die Körner ein.'

König Jakob sprang herab vom Pferd,
Hell leuchtete sein Gesicht,

Aus der Scheide zog er sein breites Schwert
Aber fallen liess er es nicht.

Nimm's hin, nimm's hin, und trag es neu,

Und bewache mir meine Ruh,

Der ist in tiefster Seele treu,

Wer die Heimath liebt wie du,'
