Ad dis schweed news mid joy should shoud,
Bud as der news vas spread aboud,
Do dell der druth, dey looked down in der moud;
Exbecially von boor Dutchman dere,
Who, when he heard der guns in der air,
Almost did durn himself gray hair.
Pore Schlosser didn’t like id ad all,
Do gid himself gud mit a cannon-ball.
Und dalk as you may, dot Dutchman vas righd—
In a baddle its petter do bin oud of sighd;
