With stern address, "Du bist der wahre Teufel!"—

Hurls an inkstand at his head.

The doctor's splattering missile, proving potent,

Drove old Satan from his door;

But ink he threw on paper at the devil

Battered down his kingdom more.


Not now, as did the sturdy Wittenberger

Fling an inkstand at the foe,

But by the mighty force of steam, much faster
