From Wallenstein's Camp: A Play by Friedrich Schiller

Oh, Franz, remember, this day you'll rue. RECRUIT (sings). The drum and the fife, War's rattling throng, And a wandering life The world along! Swift steed--and a hand To curb and command-- With a blade by the side, We're off far and wide. As jolly and free, As the finch in its glee, On thicket or tree, Under heaven's wide hollow-- Hurrah! for the Friedlander's banner I'll follow! (SECOND YAGER: Foregad! a jolly companion, though. They salute him.) He comes of good kin; now pray let him go. (FIRST YAGER: And we wern't found in the streets you must know.) I tell you his wealth is a plentiful stock; Just feel the fine stuff that he wears for a frock.
