He floored the best half, drank a gallon of beer,

And set out on the Taurus to chase the wild deer.

Sir Eppo he rode through the good greenwood,

And his bolts flew fast and free;

He knocked over a hare, and he passed the lair

(The tenant was out) of a grisly bear;

He started a wolf, and he got a snap shot

At a bounding roe, but he touched it not,

Which caused him to mutter a naughty word

In German, which luckily nobody heard,
