English poem
Burgher'S Daughter
by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832)
Look at those handsome fellows there! 'Tis really shameful, I declare, The very best society they shun, After those servant girls forsooth, to run.
SECOND STUDENT (to the first)
Not quite so fast! for in our rear, Two girls, well-dress'd, are drawing near; Not far from us the one doth dwell, And sooth to say, II like her well. They walk demurely, yet you'll see, That they will let us join them presently.
