Ladrizem bam, ladrizem bam.

Horses I have from Paris, three without heads, and two without feet,—ladrizem bam, etc.—A coat I have of good cloth,—I have not a trace left of it.—Boots I have of good leather, not a feather's weight have I left of them.—Children I have some three dozen,—I get no good out of them.—So I fell a-thinking and made a heap of ashes of them.

The sensuality, intemperance, and profound ignorance and superstition of the Rebe, or Rabbi, of the Khassidim, and the credulity and lightheartedness of his followers, form, perhaps, the subject of the most poems in the Judeo-German language, as they also form the main subject of attack in the written literature of the last forty years.{72}
