Mémoires concernant Christine, reine de Suède, volume 3, page 429, compiled and edited by Johan Arckenholtz, 1759
The postscript:
La puérilité (la ragazzata) du Prince d'Orange sera un jour cause de sa ruine, & celui qui a mal commencé, ne peut finir que mal.
Swedish translation (my own):
Prinsen av Oranges barnslighet kommer en dag att vara orsaken till hans fördärv, och den som börjar illa kan bara ända illa.
English translation (my own):
The childishness of the Prince of Orange will one day be the cause of his ruin, and he who begins badly can only end badly.
Above: Kristina.
Above: William (Willem), Prince of Orange.
