To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He was King John III.'s grandson by the latter's natural daughter, Lucretia Gyllenhielm, and now, as Riks-Marsk, he was the second of Queen Christina's guardians.
22 and who, to the honor of having become gray be- neath laurels, added a still greater honor of having had a Gustavus Adolphus for his pupil — now to leave (for a space) the guardianship of Christina, in order, in the evening of his life, still, again, to fight for his young queen. He begs his new relative, brave Torstenson, (1) to a...ccompany him, and to be the prop of his age. He approaches the shores of Poland, and the rumor of his arrival accelerates the conclusion of another Truce. (2) He leaves his army to Torstenson and returns to his native land. Not without emotion does Torstenson receive the com- mand. From the teacher (military preceptor, such as Schwerin was to Frederic the Great) of Gustavus Adolphus he had still hoped to learn ; but greater dangers (elsewhere) require his presence. The honor of the Swedish arms calls him to Germany ; Baner awaits him ; his (Torstenson' s) presence alone can bring back fortune to the Swedish armies.
