| Title Caption | Als Sancho bei einer von dem Herzog veranstalteten wilden Schweins=Jagd, einen ungeheuren Keiler ansichtig wird, will er in der schrecklichsten Angst auf eine Eiche klettern, aber unglücklicher Weise bricht ein Ast, den er bestiegen hat, er bleibt unter einem furchtbaren Jammergeschrei hängen, und zerrisst sich das erhaltene neue schöne Jagdkleid. |
