Description
A bear wearing a morion and carrying a halberd knocks on Reynard’s door, who peeks warily out the window.
The caption reads in the original German:
Denn es hat der König geschworen, Ihr sollet bei Hofe
Vor Gericht Euch stellen, ich soll Euch holen, damit Ihr.
The translation provided here is by John Storer Cobb.
