All in de insteP mtter nocht,
When oder fo Ks in shle"p vas locked,
Down n de ITolfsehIucht Max did try
His tyieI-strikcs and heXerci.
Nit skools und pones he made a ring;
De howls and spooks begiu to sing
Und all de lyf'ls under ground
Coon breaking loose, and rushing round.
Den Casper coomes aloGg-says he
"Mrin Got what dings is dis | see?

You red Dootch tylel- COON und hclp!"
Den mp derc coomed a trodful shorm-
De todtenQrips around did schwarm
De howl jumped op nud napt his wings,
Und oorned his het like avery dngs.
Oop troo de ground dcre coomed pot
Nit lcadt und dngs to make de shot;
Und hocIIisch fire in crimson plaze,
IND awful schmells like Schwetzer kaese.
Across de scene pine-shtick flew,
Nit several iail-ptd- fa-tent to;
Six ireadfnl jail pirds nit der wings
Tied to the shticks init magic shtrings.
All troo de air--al in row
DE Wiide Jdga was seen 10 go;
De honuts und deer all made pone,
und hoontcd by skeleton.
Dcrc coomcd drctful shpectre pig,
Who sphtten fire aIay ",d dig;
Und f,ry drocks und tyIel-snake
a scootin' troo die air It'd preak.
Bot Max he tdn't mind dem alls
Bot cnsted out de pallet pals;
Six was to 90 as d"y would like,
De scvent for te tylcl moost strike.

De gals coomcS round 50 Dice and gay ;
Und den d,y COOS und makes daniz,

"Joost shoot dem dove upon dat dree"
Den Casper pointed nit de blk;
"Potzbilz !" says he, dat dove I'll fix ~

When Max rolled over in de Staub.
De pride she failed too in de dust
De gals dey crird-de men dry cussed
lie Herzog says, " It's fiery clear
Dat dere has been some yfels here.
"Und Max has shot nit tyt"ls' Uei,

But den a hrrmts coomcd in late;
Says he, :" III fix desc dings toost rate !"
Und telli de Herzcg dat young men

De Duke orgifed de Caspar damn,
Und made Of him ein Yagersmann.
What shoots nit biXcn gun und picll,

Uud den de pride she coomcd to life,

Den all de peoples cried lIoorah!
Das ist rechL BRAY und hopsasa!
