"Look there out there something is moving again! Oh! holy father, exorcise them with some mighty bann.
The enemy stalked in a merciless manner over the gory, reeking, groaning Tyrol, and pursued relentlessly all who had dared to rise against him. He had promised oblivion and forgiveness in return for peaceful submission; but as the Tyrolese had not submitted, but continued the struggle, the enemy now threatened to revenge himself and punish the vanquished. A furious chase now commenced.

"One year, thou shall find the vineyard dripping liquors precious as diamonds, while, the next, barrenness shall make it its seat.

"Oh, nothing much except what a ghastly shame it is that so so well, I don't know what to call you but well, a woman like you that you should be living alone with nothing better to do than run the gantlet of those God-awful submarines and probably get blown up and drowned, or, worse yet, spend your days breaking your heart nursing a lot of poor mangled, groaning Frenchmen that get shot to pieces or poisoned with gas or Oh, it's rotten!
