The Commers then, being brought to a close, they generally return by boat to the city of the Muses. If this is in the evening, the barge is illuminated, and when they approach the city, fireworks are played off. As they land they proceed to their Kneip, and there wind up the feast. On the arrangements of a Kneip, nothing further is necessary to be said, as we, in becoming acquainted with the Beer-tablet, beheld the only particular in which it differs from other drinking-places; but, in speaking of the different drinks that are consumed in a Kneiping, we must not forget the Crambambuli. In order to prepare this liquor, an earthenware dish is used, into which a sufficient quantity of sugar is poured, and it is then filled up with rum. It is then set fire to; and the company, who sit round the flaming dish, sing-- THE CRAMBAMBULI SONG. Crambambuli, this is the title Of that good drink we love the best, It is the means of proof most vital, When evil fortunes us molest. In evening late, in morning free, I drink my glass Crambambuli. Have I into the inn ascended, Most like some noble cavalier? I leave the bread and roast untended, And bid them bring the corkscrew here. Then blows the coachman--trantanti-- Unto a glass Crambambuli. Are head and stomach both distracted; For eating have I little zest; A plaguy cold have I contracted; Have I catarrh within my chest? What need the doctor trouble me, I drink my glass Crambambuli! Were I a prince of power unbounded, Like Kaiser Maximilian, For me were there an order founded, 'Tis this device I'd hang thereon:-- Toujours fidele, et sans souci, C'est l'ordre du Crambambuli! Comes there no bill my needs to better? Have I at play my money lost? My maiden, writes she not a letter! Come grievous tidings by the post? Then drink I, from anxiety, A brimming glass Crambambulli. Ah! if the dear old folks but knew it, How we young Gents, their sons, were stead, How we must pinch and sorely rue it, They'd weep till their old eyes were red. Whilst make themselves the Filii So bene by Crambambuli. And has the Bursch his cash expended? To sponge the Philistine's his plan. And thinks it folly all extended, From Burschen unto Beggarman. Since this is the philosophy In spirit of Crambambulli.
