Thackery:
Out from the dark wild forest,
Rode the terrible Heinz Won Stein,
He passed at the door of tavern,
And gazed at the swinging sign.
Then he sat himself down in corner,
And growled for bottle of wine.
Up came with flask and corkscrew,
A maiden of beauty divine.
Then he sighed with deep love longing
And said, "Oh damsel mine,
Suppose you give few kisses
VI To the valorous Ritter Won Stein"
& But she answered, "The kissing business
Is not at all in my line,
And surely shall not begin it,
On countenance as ugly as thine"
!. Then the knight was exceedingly angry
And he cursed both coarse and fine
And he asked her what was the swindle,
5 For her sour and nasty wine
And fercely he rode to his castle,
And sat himself down to dine
And this is the fearful legend,
OF the terrible Heinz Won Stein.
