by Carl Spitteler (1845 - 1924)

Der Bevorzugte
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich bin die Kathrein
Von Peterwardein.
Hab' im Weißkircher Amt
Die Männer allesamt.
Zygan und Magyar
Und die Deutschen gar.
Was ich nur an mir hab',
Daß keiner ein' andre mag?
Der Janauschek
Geht nicht von meiner Schürze weg.
Der prächtige Kasimir
Tanzt einzig mit mir.
Der Wenzel, der Janos, der Razziwill
Tun, was ich will.

Wo ich mein Köpferl zeig',
Gibt's Gaudi und Streit.
Wer nicht gestochen liegt,
Der hat die Schwindsucht kriegt.
Den Benedikt
Haben's ins Narrenhaus g'schickt.
Dem Gutsherrn sein Sohn
Ist zu den Türken davon.
Der Franz [Spitteler: Dieter] hat si' g'hängt,
Der Friedl ertränkt.
Nur der [Franz]1 steht fern,
Den mag i' gern.
