- Ein Männlein kam aus Corsica
Und meinte, gross zu werden
Und zu verschtucken, fern und nah,
Die Völker all auf Erden
Allein es ward sein Spiritus
Durch eines Manne Erbsenschuss
Gar jämmerlich getroffen.
Da kam das Mannlein wiederum
Aus Elba hergebahren,
Und lockte in sein Kaiserthum
Von neuen unsrer Schaaren.
Da sah ihn gar der grosse Mann
Für einen Daumenreiter an
Und gab ihm --- Nasenstüber!
[A midget came from Corsica
Ambition's path to follow,
And, storming up and down the earth,
Its people tried to swallow.
Athwart his way a Man was found
Who dashed him badly to the ground
And merely by pea-shooting.
Behold, once more the manikin
From Elba gaily courses,
And throws his vast Imperial net
O'er all our allied forces!
The Man has caught him as he goes
And flicks the Tom-Thumb on the nose
And once more sends him scooting!]
