Against the ‘Jacobin conspiracy’: Zitat 1

Und darf auf sich wohl denken,
Wer halt nicht lernen will Manier,
Den Lümmel muss man henken.

Drum fort mit ihm zur Guillotin
Denn Blut für Blut muss fließen
Hätt man nur a hier so an maschin,
Müsst's mancher Großkopf büßen.

[The populace is not just arse-paper and is surely allowed to think for itself; the one who is just not willing to learn manners is a lout and deserves to be hanged. So off with him to the guillotine, for blood must be repaid with blood; if we had a machine like that here, then many a nob would have to pay for his deeds.]
