AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A PENNSYLVANIAN

        Ik moet, zeid' dat oudt Manneken,
Noch drinken ens een Kanneken,
Ik moet, zeid' dat oudt Manneken,
Noch eensjes vrolijh zijn
Drink Liedt of 1655.
 
1   Application of Celia B. Gilbert, No. 1988.
Ach Weber! Ach Weber!
Was nun ist geschehen?
Die Fusse, sie wandeln
Sie Konnen nicht stehen,
Durch die Jagen und Wochen
Der Kopf ist gebrochen.
 
2   Celia B. Gilbert, No. 1988
Mon cher ami
J'entend un cri
Der Weber ist gefallen
Les hommes courirent,
Les femmes soupirent,
Und laut die schreie schallen.
 
3   Vincent Tontorello, No. 22
If French you be,
Il fait un bruit
But when in accents loud and clear
He tells of Tontorello's beer
The story cloys
'Tis only Noyes.
 
4   Nicholas Pessalano, No. 32
And now there comes an end to Pessalano's joys.
When a Law and Order Agent gets his bottles and an Noyes.
 
5   Peter Finlan, No. 248
What curious thing is this we hear,
When Carter swears that Finlan's beer
Is ladled out (by a man) with one ear.
 
6   Philip Engelke, No. 265
Though small and scarce the angels be
McMichael finds an Engel-ke
Though fortune tap but once in a cycle
She scatters her favors before McMichael.
