Ich bin Landstreicher, Gauner, Fechtbruder, kleiner Dolch, alles, was Ihr nur wollt; ich war das alles schon vorher, Herr König von Thunes, denn ich bin Philosoph; et omnia in philosophia, omnes in philosopho continentur, wie Ihr wißt.«
I am a vagabond, a thief, a sharper, a man of the knife, anything you please; and I am all that already, monsieur, King of Thunes, for I am a philosopher; ~et omnia in philosophia, omnes in philosopho continentur~,−−all things are contained in philosophy, all men in the philosopher, as you know."
