by Eduard Mörike (1804 - 1875)
Translation

Später Triumph
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Und um die Rippen zog er sich ein kahles Ochsenfell,
von Schmutz starrend, ein altes Schildfutteral.
Und mit der Brotverkäuferin trieb er's
und mit den mannsüchtigen Weibstücken,
den schmutzigsten. Unsauber auch ganz war sein Gewerb.
Oft im Block war sein Genick, desgleichen oft im Rad.
Und oft auch mit Zuchtruten gepeitscht ward er.
Und auch am Kopf geschändet und sein Bart gerupft.
Und jetzt? Und jetzt? Den Prachtwagen besteigt er.
