And now the two young lords pickedsome quarrel, got to pulling caps [fell into one anothers hair], and ditis nu de Picke davon, and this now was the upshot of it. — HisMajesty spoke this in Platt-Deutsch, as here given;—but grew attable so weary that he (they) fell asleep. So far Backhof; — and nowagain Fromme by way of finish: —• Of his Majestys journey I can give no farther description.
