IX. The Cardinal's answer. |
Suhl is very alone in writing: »So höhnt ich sorgenfrey das Paradies der Welt« (so I sneered carefree at the paradise of the world). Everybody else agrees that the cardinal built his earthly Paradise: »So baut ich sorgenfrey […]«. As Nugent translates it: »I made the world my paradise«.
