Rh For bidding Fate and Time and Change good-bye.

.

A little queer old man in a green coat,

Who asked a burning sod to light his pipe.

.

You have now given milk and fire and brought

For all you know, evil upon the house.

Before you married you were idle and fine,

And went about with ribbons on your head;

And now you are a good-for-nothing wife.

.

Be quiet, mother!

.

You are much too cross!
