(fast).
Ja, men alligevel, –
om slig en exception blir aldrig tale.
I trange tider holdt vi trofast sammen;
hun fordrer ikke stort af livets gammen,
og jeg er nøjsom, har alt længe sporet,
at jeg blev skabt for hjemmet og kontoret.
Lad andre følge svaneflokkens flugt;
liv i det små kan også være smukt.
Hvad siger ej etsteds geheimeråd Göthe
om mælkevejen, skinnende og hvid?
Af den kan ingen skumme lykkens fløde,
og endnu mindre hente smørret hid –
STIVER
[firmly].
Yes, but all the same,--
I must reject all pleas in such a cause.
Staunch comrades we have been in times of dearth;
Of life’s disport she asks but little share,
And I’m a homely fellow, long aware
God made me for the ledger and the hearth.
Let others emulate the eagle’s flight,
Life in the lowly plains may be as bright.
What does his Excellency Goethe say
About the white and shining milky way?
Man may not there the milk of fortune skim,
Nor is the butter of it meant for him.
