Eulenspiegel

/ ˈɔɪlənˌʃpiːɡəl /

noun

To few mortals has it been granted to earn such a place in universal history as Tyll Eulenspiegel.

Eulenspiegel sees a man with a piece of green cloth, which he resolves to obtain.

Eulenspiegel, awakened by the movement, soon discovered the position in which he was placed, and hit upon a plan for escaping.

The former picture him as holding a place somewhere between Eulenspiegel and the ordinary court-fool.

There seems to be better work in 'Eulenspiegel,' a comic opera founded upon Kotzebue's comedy.
