ONE:CHAPTER XXVI. DEFEATS AND PERILS.Voltaire, in summing up a sketch of this campaign of 1757, writes in characteristic phrase: ONE:In the latter part of April, the weather being very fine, the king decided to leave Berlin and retire to his rural palace at Potsdam. It seems, however, that he was fully aware that his days were nearly ended, for upon leaving the city he said, ��Fare thee well, then, Berlin; I am going to die in Potsdam.�� The winter had been one of almost unprecedented severity, and the month of May was cold and wet. As the days wore on the king��s health fluctuated, and he was continually struggling between life and death. The king, with all his great imperfections, was a thoughtful man. As he daily drew near the grave, the dread realities of the eternal world oppressed his mind. He sent for three clergymen of distinction, to converse with them respecting his preparation for the final judgment. It seems that they were very faithful with him, reminding him of his many acts of violence and tyranny, alluding particularly to his hanging Baron Schlubhut, at K?nigsberg, without even a trial. The king endeavored to defend himself, saying,The crowd heard what he said. With bursts of laughter they tore the caricature in pieces, scattered it to the winds, and greeted the king, as he rode away, with enthusiastic shouts of ��Our Fritz forever.��
