Just let me reach you, quickly I'll teach you how to make trouble, soon mount to double! Crosspatch, crosspatch, what is the use, growling and grumbling, full of abuse? Off with you, out with you, shame on you, goose! HÄNSEL. Crosspatch, away! Hard lines, I say. {HÄNSEL. { { When I am hungry, { surely I can say so, { cannot allay so, { can't chase away so! { {GRETEL. { { If I am hungry, { I'll never say so, { will not give way so, { chase it away so!
