Sorrows of Werther

Werther had a love for Charlotte   Such as words could never utter; Would you know how first he met her?   She was cutting bread and butter. Charlotte was a married lady,   And a moral man was Werther, And for all the wealth of Indies   Would do nothing for to hurt her. So he sighed and pined and ogled,   And his passion boiled and bubbled, Till he blew his silly brains out,   And no more was by it troubled. Charlotte, having seen his body   Borne before her on a shutter, Like a well-conducted person,   Went on cutting bread and butter.
