Too early he got rid of passions

And was annoyed with high life’s roar;

The beauties drew no more attention

And did not stir him any more.

Unfaithfulness made him fatigued,

Of friends and friendship he got rid,

Since not for long he could and would

Eat beef-steaks and the Strasburg food

Spill with Champaign straight from a bottle,

And pour the spicy bitter words,

When at that time headache disturbs;

And though he loved the life to throttle,

He ceased to like it in the end –

The fight, the saber and the lead.
