HALLO there! A glass!
Ha! the draught's truly sweet!
If for drink go my shoes,I shall still have my feet.
A maiden and wine,With sweet music and song,--I would they were mine,All life's journey along!
If I depart from this sad sphere, And leave a will behind me here, A suit at law will be preferr'd, But as for thanks,--the deuce a word!
So ere I die, I squander all, And that a proper will I call.
HIS COMRADE.
Hallo there! A glass!
Ha! the draught's truly sweet If thou keepest thy shoes,Thou wilt then spare thy feet.
A maiden and wine,With sweet music and song, On pavement, are thine,All life's journey along!

第一章THE FREEBOOTER,No door has my house,No house has my door;And in and out everI carry my store.
No grate has my kitchen,No kitchen my grate;Yet roasts it and boils itBoth early and late.
My bed has no trestles,My trestles no bed;Yet merrier momentsNo mortal e'er led.
My cellar is lofty,My barn is full deep, From top to the bottom,--There lie I and sleep.
And soon as I waken,All moves on its race;My place has no fixture,My fixture no place.
