Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Hermann and Dorothea
Since it serves many a purpose and cannot be pur chased for money, When we may want it. To-day, however, I gave, and with pleasure, Many a piece that was better, indeed, in shirts and in bed-clothes; For I was told of the aged and children who had to go naked.
But wilt thou pardon me, father? Thy wardrobe has also been plundered.
And, in especial, the wrapper that has the East indian ?owers, Made of the finest of Chintz, and lined with deli cate ?annel, Gave I away: it was thin and old, and quite out of the fashion.
Thereupon answered and said, with a smile, the excellent landlord: Faith! I am sorry to lose it, my good old calico wrapper, Real east-indian stuff: I never shall get such an other.
