Exist on airy vapor—
But never, never do without
"My dear religious paper."

Before the pile of blazing logs
A burgher in his kitchen sat,
His feet upon the fire-dogs,
His form encased in flaccid fat;
And sipped his toddy from the mug
Whose foaming element was drawn
From that familiar, earthen jug
That topers live and thrive upon.

A typic product of the land
Whose scions hold forever dear
The native, true, Teutonic brand
Of sparkling ale and lager beer;
A jolly soul, like "Old King Cole,"
Of visage rubicund was he,
Who loved his meerschaum and his bowl
And boon companions' revelry.
