Several had voted, No, why stir ?--Daun especially, and others with emphasis.

"No need of fighting at all," said Daun: "we can defend Schweidnitz Water; ruin him before he ever get across." "Defend?
Be assaulted by an Army like his ?" urges Lucchesi, the other Chief General: "It is totally unworthy of us! We have gained the game; all the honors ours; let us have done with it.

Give him battle, since he fortunately wishes it; we finish him, and gloriously finish the War too!" So argued Lucchesi, with vivacity, persistency,--to his own ill luck, but evidently with approval from Prince Karl.

Everybody sees, this is the way to Prince Karl's favor at present.

"Have not I reconquered Silesia ?" thinks Prince Karl to himself; and beams applause on the high course, not the low prudent one.
