Pfeift der Sturm? Keift ein Wurm? Heulen Eulen hoch vom Turm? Nein! Es war des Galgenstrickes dickes Ende, welches ächzte, so als ob im Galopp eine müdgehetzte Mähre nach dem nächsten Brunnen lechzte, (der vielleicht noch ferne wäre).

Schettert de storm? Kettert een worm? En dansen Wantsen voor de vorm? Nee! Want schobbejak Ligt in de prak Zucht een jammerklacht, Zoals een paard In volle vaart Afgejakkerd aangevuurd Dat dorstig naar bronwater smacht (wat wellicht nog dagen duurt)
