And die I this day or to-morrow,

My testament's already made;

My funeral from your care I'll borrow,

But without splendour or parade.

And as for coffin, that remanding,

A Rhenish cask for it shall pass;

Instead of lemon placed each hand in,

Give me a brimfull Deckel-glass.

Into the cellar then convey me,

Where I have drunk whole hogsheads dry;
