A POLEMICAL PLAY AS MIRROR OF MORALS 121 Then follows the description of a drinking-bout of the four young men. A cloth-maker, who brings Hypocratz money in payment for some wool he has bought, is invited to join in the carousal, while Reumaus is told to sing the drinking song : ' Vom Schlemmer aus dem Joachimstlial ' (' The Drunkard of the Joachim Valley ' ). We quote some specimen lines : My heart with joy doth spring \\lien I have drink in plenty, My best songs I can sing ^^^len I am jolly t...ipsy. . . . I can shout finely too, And carry on fool's play. Also at evening woo The girls in jo\ial way. . . . Etc. &c. &c. The cloth-maker, who cannot fulfil all the require- ments of a drinking bout, gets a sound thrashing from the young men : he harangues them, calls them hogs, and asks them : Since to-day your pastor Has blown up all you topers well, How can you be so eager Again to drink and swill ? Whereupon Hypocratz cries : ' Strike the traitor dead ! ' draws his sword, and the other three charge with their spears at the cloth-maker, who makes his escape.
