Seite 206 - Woe's me! no more shall younkers crowd About thy hearth, and gabble loud; Where thou, in magistracy proud, Nought humbly said: Alas! we never thought thee good Till thou wast dead. Though, by my soul! still sober, mellow, I ken'd thee aye a special fellow, Catches or psalm-staves prompt to bellow, O pious breedl I ween thou'rt fixt 'tween heav'n and hell: oh! Our comfort's dead.
