The thing was, that when the court was to sit
On a specially difficult question,
A Sow came and peeked up at the table,
Sans façon sat next to the man presiding.
He got up and introduced himself politely,
But then said no more
Than get out, you devil.
No, the sow said, I’ve made it my business
so I too have become
A Councilman here in town.
Saken var den, när Rätten skulle sitta
I en ganska sträng och svår qvestion,
Kom en Sugga fram vid bordet titta,
Satte sig vid Preses sans façon.
Preses steg då up och complimentera,
Sade intet mera
Än gack ut din Fan.
Nej sad' suggan, jag har så bedrifvit
At jag också blifvit
Rådman här i stan.
