Farming woman, have I got
something special for you today. Look at this
material! You can make a dress from it that
will make you look like a baroness, like a
countess, like a queen.
It is a festival evening in the
village when the Jew turns up with his wares.
The Jew flatters the peasant woman and spreads
out his wares.
Everything the heart desires,
Levy has for sale.
But the German peasant girl turns
down his offers.
The Jew persists, and shows her
some stuff of ..... purest wool. That will make
a dress for you, woman, so that you will look
like a Baroness or a Princess, like a Queen.
And cheap, too, that I can tell you!
But the peasant woman knows the
Jew too well.
I am buying nothing from you,
she says, and goes away.
The Jew packs up and goes away
cursing. He consoles himself with the knowledge
that there are lots of other peasants who can
be more easily duped than this one.
Woe to the woman, however, who
lets herself be taken in by his chatter. It
will happen to her. As has happened to so many
other peasant women once they have let the Jew
in. There is no escape. There is an old saying:
|
The Jewish hawker
Is a cheat and seducer.
He lies all the time
And you -- you pay the price.
So many have gone through the mill.
Would you be saved from these penalties?
Then don't let the Jew come in
And buy only from a German!
