“
Thi Søen tager saa mangen;
Her sidder en Encke, som Manden har mist
Og hisset en anden, har Skilsmisse frist
Hvis Mand er fordrugnet for langen.
Man spørger en Fader, som Sønner har stoor,
Hvor er dine Sønner? de blev udi Fior,
Man fritter en Søn om sin Fader;
Strax skal hand dig grædende svare med hast,
Min Fader blev borte med Tackel og Mast,
Den Sorg mig saa snart icke lader.
