Swedish noblewoman. First child and elder daughter of King Frederick of Sweden and his mistress. The King was very pleased to become a father for the first time at almost 60 years of age, but the existence of this child, unlike her three subsequent siblings, was kept secret. At first she was just called Anonyma, also Mamsell Ehrlich (Miss Honest). She died a baby.
"Tell us, thou clear and heav'nly tongue:
Where are the babes but lately sprung?
Lie they the lily-banks among?"
