I don'd vas preaching voman's righdts,

    Or anyding like dot,

    Und I likes to see all beoples

    Dot made dis leedle shoke:

    "A voman vas der glinging vine,

    Und man, der shturdy oak."

    Berhaps, somedimes, dot may be drue;

    Budt, den dimes oudt off nine,

    Und ven hees friendts dhey all vas gone,

    Und he vas shust "tead proke,"

    Dot's ven der voman shteps righdt in,

    Und peen der shturdy oak.

    Und see dhose "shturdy oaks"

    All planted roundt ubon der seats—

    Shust hear dheir laughs und shokes!
