In effery way I tried to prove
Mine heart to you vas drue,
Und only claimed mein honest share
In de great deeds vot ve do.
You could not half a better friendt
In sky, or land, or sea.
Dan Kaiser Vilhelm, Number Two
Der Lord of Shermany.

So vot I say, dear Gott, is dis,
Dot ve should still be friendts,
Und you should help me send mein fois
To meet der bitter endts.
If you, Dear Gott, vill dis me do,
I'll nodings ask again,
Und you and I vill bardners be
Forevermore, Amen!
