But glitt'ring and joyfully winking, When brightly the third star doth shine; It sounds in the spirit like singing, It glows in the bosom like wine. Then fill, ye three cordial planets, Our breasts with your glory divine; In life and in death our companions, Be love, and sweet music, and wine! And wine, and sweet love, and singing, They honour the festival night; Then live! who in kissing and loving, In wine and in singing delight! In wine and in singing delight! Hoffmann.--Gentlemen, don't drink yet. I must yet once more animate you; so then sing:-- Roundelay and barley-wine, Love we them for ever; Grasp them bravely where they shine,-- Cup's exhausted never! (To Mr. Traveller.) Brother, thy beloved is called?-- Mr. Traveller.--Georgina. All.--Georgina, she shall live-o! shall live-o! Georgina, she shall live-o! All.--Roundelay and true grape wine, Love we them for ever. Grasp them bravely where they shine,-- Cup's exhausted never. (To Von Kronen). Brother, thy beloved is called?-- Von Kronen.--Rapunzel. All.--Rapunzel, she shall live-o! shall live-o! shall live-o! Rapunzel, she shall live-o! So goes the song in this manner round; and each one names the actual or feigned name of his lady. Mr. Traveller.--Where, then, have you found the name of Rapunzel, Von Kronen? Von Kronen.--Look into Grimms' "Kinder und Haus-Märchen;" there you may read the moving history of Rapunzel, which has so seized upon me that I have without further ado made the poor Rapunzel my beloved. Enderlin.--I hope that thou correspondest with her. How touchingly must the subscription of the letters sound:--"Thy faithful Rapunzel," or "Thy affectionate Rapunzel." Pittschaft.--But do procure me the favour of thy Rapunzel writing something in my Stammbook. Von Kronen.--In thy bore of a Stammbook? But O yes! yes! for she is quite at liberty to write in what she will. Pittschaft.--And what, I wonder, will she write? Von Kronen.--Instead of an answer, which perhaps after all may not come, I will give thee an anecdote.
