The Popular Legend OF the Inventor

Gsmbiinus was a fiddler, who, being Tilted BY
his sweetheart, went out into the woods to hang
himself. As he was sitting on the bough. with
the cord about his neck, preparatory to taking the
fatal plunge, suddenly tall man in green coat
appeared and offered his services. He might be-
come as wealthy as he liked, and make his sweet
heart burst will. vexation at her own foy but i'll
thirty years he must give up his soul to BeelAebuh.
The bargain was struck. for Gambrinus thought
thirty years long time to enjoy ones self in and
perhaps the devil might get him i'll any event; as
well te hung for sheep for lamb. Aided by
Satan. he invented Ginning bells and lager beer
for both OF which achievements his name is held
in grateful remembrance by the Tenton. No
sooner had the holy Roman Emperor quafied
gallon or two of the new made beverage than he
made Gambrinus Duke OF Brabant and Count Of
Flanders, and then it was the fddler's turn to
laugh at the discontinue Of his old sweetheart. -
Gambrinus kept clear Of women, says the legend,
and SO lived IN peace. For thirty years he sat ne
meath his befry, with the chimes, medita.ivey
drinking beer with his mobiles and burghers arouni
him. Then Beelxebub sent ocko. one OF his imps
with orders to bring back Gambrnus before md
night. But Jocko was, like Swiveilers Marchion

drunk OF it even In q sip, and the Flemish schop
