His dear old Nuremberg has been free of this madness:

Thy peaceful ways pursuing,

serene thou dost abide,

far from the clash of nations,22

dear Nuremberg, my pride;

But last night the universal madness had broken out there, and why? Because, forsooth, some sprite or other had flitted through men’s minds: two lovers had tried to make for freedom and a cobbler in his workshop had happened to give a tug at the strings of folly: a riot had broken out:

and madness with madness vieing,

the cudgels soon are flying;

each madman must belabour

his own best friend and neighbour:

God knows how that befell!

Some goblin wove the spell!

Some glow-worm sought his mate in vain;

’twas he who brought this bitter bane!
