Jeg véd, hvad I vil sige. Hvorfor de har underkastet sig, istedet for at byde voldsmændene trods til det sidste? Vel sandt; der er uselt malm i vore slægter nutildags; men havde der været samhold imellem dem, – hvem véd, hvad der da vilde sket? Og I kunde have holdt dem sammen; thi for eder havde de alle bøjet sig.

I know what you would say. Why have they bent to the yoke, and not defied the tyrants to the last? ’Tis but too true; there is base metal enough in our noble houses nowadays. But had they held together--who knows what might have been? And you could have held them together, for before you all had bowed.
