¶Liedtext

The Fox jumped over the Parson’s gate And stole hs poultry from under his nose; “O ho!” quoth the Parson, who popped out his pate, “A good fat hen, and away she goes!” Calm, Lady, calm your troubled breast, Beneath our roof of friendship rest; There say what most may soothe your woes! “A good fat hen, and away she goes!” Friendship! thou canst balm impart To the wounded suffering heart; A mourner to thy roof I fly; And then should silent stars intrude, The gleam of glistening gratitude Shall light the drops in sorrow’s eye! Then away with old care, let the dullard go drown, Mirth and pleasure life’s short rosy moments should crown, For what gain or what good e’er from sorrow arose? “A good fat hen, and away she goes!” Let’s rejoice! It doth beseem us, Let’s be jovial! Exultemus! Hence, ye sordid and litigious, Exultemus! Prodigious! Prodigious! Hence, oppression, hence!
