Abraham to kill him -- [German translation]

Abraham to kill him --

Was distinctly told --

Isaac was an Urchin --

Abraham was old --

Not a hesitation --

Abraham complied --

Flattered by Obeisance

Tyranny demurred --

Isaac -- to his children

Lived to tell the tale --

Moral -- with a Mastiff

Manners may prevail.
