Der Mann sie nahm ein Frau--
JACOB. Your health, Jeppe! JEPPE. Hey! he--y! he--y! Here's to you, and here's to me, And here's to all the company! JACOB. Won't you drink the bailiff's health? JEPPE. Sure enough; give me credit for another penny-worth. The bailiff is an honest man; when we slip a rix-dollar into his fist, he'll swear to his lordship that we can't pay our rent. Now I'm a villain if I have any more money; you must trust me for a farthing or two. JACOB. No, Jeppe, you can't stand any more now. I'm not the kind of man to let his patrons force themselves to drink more than is good for them. I'd rather lose my trade than do that. It would be a sin. JEPPE. Just another farthing's worth! JACOB. No, Jeppe, you can't have any more. Just think what a long way you have to walk. JEPPE. Cur! Carrion! Beast! Scoundrel! Hey, hey, h--e--y! JACOB. Good-bye, Jeppe! Good luck to you! |
