by Theobald Kerner (1817 - 1907)

Der Wirth hat ein Fäßlein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der [Wirth hat]1 ein Fäßlein,
Das hat so rothes Blut,
Das hat so starkes Fieber,
Schnappt fast vor [Hitze]2 über,
Ein Aderlaß wär' gut.
 
Der Wirth der ist nicht faule
Und zapft das Fäßlein an:
"Ihr Herren Wohlgeboren,
Ihr lieben Herr Doktoren
O schaut das Blut euch an!"
 
""Das Blut ist sehr entzündet,
Und [schmeckt und schmeckt]3 nach -- mehr,
O köstliches Kuriren!
O herrlich Prakticiren!
Wer stets solch' Doktor wär'!""
