by Daniel Stoppe (1697 - 1747)

Toback
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
In allen Lexicis in allen Wörterbüchern,
ist doch kein schöner Wort, als der Toback.
Diss wort erquicket mein Gemüte,
diss Wort verkürzet mir, durch seine lange Güte,
so manche liebe Nacht, wie manchen lieben Tag.
Ihr deutschen Herrn grammatici!
ihr zehlet den Toback mit Rechte zu den Nominibus
von männlichem Geschlechte;
denn der Toback gehört nicht vor das Vieh,
das generis neutrus ist;
auch vor die Weiber nicht,
die in dem foeminino stehen;
denn wenn wir auf das Genus gehen,
so pflegt er, wie man billig schliesst,
den männern nur allein mit Rechte zuzukommen:
wiedoch die Weiber ausgenommen,
die generis communis sein.
