Say what you will have done, What you ask 'twill be done! Tara, tantara, teino! Folk, fear the toss of the Horns of philosophy! Tara, tantara, teino! Here comes a quadruple Spoiler and prodigal! Tara, tantara, teino! License and vanity Pamper insanity: Tara, tantara, teino! As the Pope bade us do, Brother to brother's true: Tara, tantara, teino! Brother, best friend, adieu! Now, I must part from you! Tara, tantara, teino! When will our meeting be? Glad shall our greeting be! Tara, tantara, teino! Vows valedictory Now have the victory; Tara, tantara, teino! Clasped on each other's breast, Brother to brother pressed, Tara, tantara, teino! In the fourth place I insert the _Confession of Golias_. This important composition lays bare the inner nature of a Wandering Student, describing his vagrant habits, his volatile and indiscriminate amours, his passion for the dice-box, his devotion to wine, and the poetic inspiration he was wont to draw from it. In England this _Confession_ was attributed to Walter Map; and the famous drinking-song, on which the Archdeacon of Oxford's reputation principally rests in modern times, was extracted from the stanzas II _et seq._[29] But, though Wright is unwilling to refuse Map such honour as may accrue to his fame from the composition, we have little reason to regard it as his work. The song was clearly written at Pavia--a point inexplicably overlooked by Wright in the note appended to stanza 9--and the Archbishop-elect of Cologne, who is appealed to by name in stanza 24, was Reinald von Dassel, a minister of Frederick Barbarossa. This circumstance enables us to determine the date of the poem between 1162 and 1165. When the _Confession_ was manipulated for English readers, _Praesul Coventrensium, Praesul mibi cognite_, and _O pastor ecclesiae_ were in several MS. redactions substituted for _Electe Coloniae_. Instead of _Papiae_, in stanza 8, we read _in mundo_; but in stanza 9, where the rhyme required it, _Papiae_ was left standing--a sufficient indication of literary rehandling by a clumsy scribe. In the text of the _Carmina Burana_, the _Confession_ winds up with a petition that Reinald von Dassel should employ the poet as a secretary, or should bestow some mark of his bounty upon him.

Boiling in my spirit's veins With fierce indignation, From my bitterness of soul Springs self-revelation: Framed am I of flimsy stuff, Fit for levitation, Like a thin leaf which the wind Scatters from its station.
