Vol. XIII. (of XXI.)

CHAPTER II
48/55

To prophesy is not to threaten, Sire! It is my zeal for the Public that brought me hither; and--' KING.

"'The Public will be much obliged to you, Monsieur! But hear me.
With respect to Russia, you know how matters stand.

From the King of Poland I have nothing to fear.

As for the King of England,--he is my relation [dear Uncle, in the Pawnbroker sense], he is my all: if he don't attack me, I won't him.

And if he do, the Prince of Anhalt [Old Dessauer out at Gottin yonder] will take care of him.' ROBINSON.
