Wikipedia
"The Pledge" (German: "Die Bürgschaft", pronounced [diː ˈbʏʁkʃaft] ) is a ballad published by the German poet Friedrich Schiller in his 1799 Musen-Almanach. He took the idea out of the ancient legend of Damon and Pythias issuing from the Latin Fabulae by Gaius Julius Hyginus, as rendered in the medieval collection of the Gesta Romanorum. It magnifies the belief in fidelity and loving friendship, and remains today one of the most famous German poems.
