Der Krämerspiegel (Op. 66)
O Schröpferschwarm, o Händlerkreis
O Schröpferschwarm, o Händlerkreis,
Wer schiebt dir einen Riegel?
Das tat mit neuer Schelmenweis’
Till Eulenspiegel.
O swarm of bloodsuckers, O band of shopkeepers
O swarm of bloodsuckers, O band of shopkeepers,
Who will put an end to you?
Till Howleglass once did that
With a new and roguish tune.
