Hann var kallaður „söngvarinn\" vegna þess að jafnvel þegar hann átti sæti í bæjarstjórninni gat hann sungið ljúflega og verðugt fyrir lúttuna. Þessa list lærði hann í Lombardy, þar sem hann hafði verið búsettur í Padua til að læra lögin þar; og þeir segja að meðal þessarar fráleitu þjóðar hafi tónlist hans fært honum rík verðlaun í ást ítalskra kvenna og stúlkna. Hann var velviljaður maður, með góða vexti og ánægjulegt að sjá, eins og Herdegen bróðir minn, elsti sonur hans, ber vott um, þar sem það er almennt sagt að hann sé lifandi ímynd blessaðs föður síns; og ég, sem nú er gömul kona, get viðurkennt það frjálslega að ég hef sjaldan séð mann sem bláu augun skín bjartari undir brún hans, eða gullna hárið hrokkið þykkara yfir háls og herðar en bróður míns á hádegi hans hamingjusöm æska. Hann fæddist á Eastertide og almættið blessaði hann með hamingjusömu skapi eins og hann veitir aðeins sunnudagsbarni. Hann var líka lærður í sönglistinni og þar sem annar bróðir minn, leikfélagi minn Kunz, hafði líka gaman af tónlist og söng, var alltaf píp og leikur í munaðarlausu og móðurlausu húsi okkar, eins og það væri hreiður glaðværra grásleppu og þar ríkti meiri barnsleg gleði og hamingjusöm gleði en í mörgu öðru húsi sem gleðst í návist föður og móður. Og ég hef nokkru sinni verið sannarlega þakklátur almættinu fyrir að það var svo; því eins og ég hef oft séð er líf barna sem skortir móðurást eins og dagur þegar sólin er falin af óveðursskýjum. En miskunnsamur Guð, sem lagði hönd sína á hjarta móður okkar, fyllti aðra konu með fjársjóði ást til mín og bræðra minna.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56296135033205,"sku":"9781034845751","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781034845751_51997980-c153-43b9-ba1a-13eb555661fa.jpg?v=1786016850"},{"product_id":"9789362769183","title":"Joshua - Complete","description":"\"Joshua   Complete\" by Georg Ebers is a compelling historical novel that transports readers to ancient Egypt.
