註釋

"Amphitryon", written in 1807, is an adaptation of a classical comedy by the Roman author Plautus. It is the story of an Theban general named Amphitryon and his misadventures with his betrothed, who sets a task for him before marrying him."The Broken Jug", written in 1806, is a comedy about a judge who breaks a jug, and coerces a country girl to keep his secret, which she does-- up to a point. "The Prince of Homburg", written in 1809-10, is a comedy-drama about a successful young officer, who is seen sleepwalking with a laurel wreath on his head. His commander, the Great Elector, is offended by this and later threatens the prince with death for supposedly disobeying an order. At first the prince begs for his life, then determines to go with dignity... only to find that perhaps life is a dream, after all.
