Harshly croaks: "Long have I fasted;

Soon I'll have meat for my dinner,

I shall relish thee, poor peasant!"

Now the people from the mountains.

Throng at Herrischried the market;

There the seat is of their union,

There they hold their union-meeting.

But to-day the Hauenstein peasants

Came not in black velvet doublets,

With red stomachers and white frills,
