From Wilhelm Tell by Friedrich Schiller

We must not go so openly to work. Hear my opinion. On the lake's left bank, As we sail hence to Brunnen, right against The Mytenstein, deep-hidden in the wood A meadow lies, by shepherds called the Rootli, Because the wood has been uprooted there. (To Melchthal.) 'Tis where our Canton bound'ries verge on yours; (To Stauffacher.) Your boat will carry you across from Schwytz. Thither by lonely bypaths let us wend At midnight, and deliberate o'er our plans. Let each bring with him there ten trusty men, All one at heart with us; and then we may Consult together for the general weal, And, with God's guidance, fix what next to do.
