As is the saying of the wise,
Seite 65 - And the watchman cried, and told the king. And the king said, If he be alone there is tidings in his mouth.
Seite 66 - Entreat me not to leave thee or to return from following after thee, for. whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge. Thy people shall be my people and thy God my God. Where thou diest will I die, and there will I be buried. The Lord do so to me and more also, if aught but death part thee and me.
