by Theodor Fontane (1819 - 1898)

Bei Torgau
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Auch die Grenadiere wollen nicht mehr.
Wie ein Rasender jagt der König daher
Und hebt den Stock und ruft unter Beben:
»Racker, wollt ihr denn ewig leben?
Bedrüger ...«
»Fritze, nichts von Bedrug;
Für fünfzehn Pfennig ist's heute genug.«
