Announcer: Friedrichsruh am siebten Oktober achtzehnhundertneunundachtzig.

Bismarck: In good old colony times,
When we lived under the King,
Three roguish chaps fell into mishaps
Because they could not sing.

[Als] Kaiser Rotbart lobesam
Zum heil'gen Land gezogen kam,
Da mußt er mit dem frommen Heer
Durch ein Gebirge wüst und leer.

Gaudeamus igitur,
juvenes dum sumus.
Post jucundam juventutem,
post molestam senectutem
nos habebit humus.

Allons enfants de la Patrie
Le jour de gloire est arrivé
Contre nous de la tyrannie
L'étendard sanglant est levé.

Treibe alles in Maßen und Sittlichkeit, namentlich das Arbeiten, dann aber auch das Essen, und im Übrigen gerade auch das Trinken. Rat eines Vaters an seinen Sohn.
