And, after all, it was not a crime,

For he won thereby Dorf Hüffelsheim.

A jolly old toper! who at a pull

Could drink a postilion's jack boot full,

And ask with a laugh, when that was done,

If the fellow had left the other one!

This wine is as good as we can afford

To the friars, who sit at the lower board,

And cannot distinguish bad from good,

And are far better off than if they could,
