Gehe, trage das liebe Englein schnell hinweg, ich befehle es mit Leib und Seele in den Willen des allmächtigen Gottes!
Summary
Illustration for a story showing, at top, Griselda, standing next to an empty cradle, is attempting to restrain her distress at giving up her child, which an elderly man carries away; and at bottom, Griselda, standing to the left, is returning to Walther the fine clothing she has received from him, so that she can return to her father's home wearing the clothing she wore as a peasant girl; Walther, with a hand over his face and gesturing for her to go, is sitting on a throne-like chair at center with other noblemen on the right.
