And tripped on his heel, So that bailiff down feil, And the maidens laughed: »Lo!« »Hop!« said now Erik And kicked in the air, So beams were crashing And brick-walls did shake. »Stop!« said Elling By the collar he took him And thoroughly shook him: »You are much too weak!« »Hei!« Rasmus said, Threw his arm around Randi, »Hei, quickly now Give me the kiss you know!« »No!« Randi said, Gave a box on his ear And hurried from there: »I answered you now!«

25. The Pretty Giris. Words by J. L. Runeberg. — Music by P. Heise.

I stare at the girlies’ fair crowd, I'm scouting and scouting with care, The fairest I might possess now. Alas! if I knew where to find her. One of them has eyes so sparkling, Another has rose-coloured cheeks, The third has lips most charming, The fourth a heart warm, that beats. There is not a girlie, who misses A something that might me inthrall. I cannot refuse them my kisses; O, could I but once kiss them all!
