English term or phrase: humble duty
Фразата се появява в превода на английски на писмо от Й. С. Бах до крал Фридрих Велики, където има изречение "To obey your majesty’s command was my most humble duty." Търсене на израза "humble duty" показва, че в английския това е стандартна формула при обръщения към короновани особи. В моя случай не смятам, че мога да употребя "покорен слуга", понеже писмото завършва с "Your Majesty's most humble and obedient servant, the author" и би се получило неудачно повторение.
А за съжаление не знам достатъчно немски, за да формулирам фраза за търсене, с която да бъде намерен текстът на писмото на немски.
