Page 68 - I'll give thee this plague for thy dowry: be thou as chaste as ice, as pure as snow, thou shall not escape calumny. Get thee to a nunnery, go; farewell.

Full soon thy soul shall have her earthly freight, And custom lie upon thee with a weight, Heavy as frost and deep almost as life.
Page 227 - Der Zopf, der hängt ihm hinten. Da hat er flink sich umgedreht, Und wie es stund, es annoch steht Der Zopf, der hängt ihm hinten. Da dreht er schnell sich anders "rum, 's wird aber noch nicht besser drum Der Zopf, der hängt ihm hinten. Er dreht sich links, er dreht sich rechts, Es tut nichts Guts, es tut nichts Schlechts Der Zopf, der hängt ihm hinten.
