After that day the fowler never missed hisaim, and never did a fowler command such wages. When the seven yearswere out the fowler told all these things to his wife, and the twain hitupon an expedient for cheating the Devil. The woman stripped herself, daubed her whole body with molasses, and rolled herself up in afeather-bed, cut open for this purpose. Then she hopped and skippedabout the field where her husband stood parleying with Old Nick. "there's a shot for you, fire away, " said the Devil.... "Of course I'llfire, but do you first tell me what kind of a bird it is; else ouragreement is cancelled, Old Boy. " There was no help for it; theDevil had to own himself nonplussed, and off he fled, with a whiff ofbrimstone which nearly suffocated the Freischutz and his good woman. [120] In the legend of Gambrinus, the fiend is still more ingloriouslydefeated. Gambrinus was a fiddler, who, being jilted by his sweetheart, went out into the woods to hang himself. As he was sitting on the bough, with the cord about his neck, preparatory to taking the fatal plunge, suddenly a tall man in a green coat appeared before him, and offeredhis services.
