+THE PIED PIPER OF HAMELIN
+
+
+I.
+
+      Hamelin Town's in Brunswick,
+    By famous Hanover city;
+      The river Weser, deep and wide,
+      Washes its wall on the southern side;
+      A pleasanter spot you never spied;
+    But, when begins my ditty,
+      Almost five hundred years ago,
+      To see the townsfolk suffer so
+        From vermin, was a pity.
+
+
+II.
+
+      Rats!
+    They fought the dogs and killed the cats,
+      And bit the babies in the cradles,
+      And ate the cheeses out of the vats.
+      And licked the soup from the cook's own ladles,
+    Split open the kegs of salted sprats,
+    Made nests inside men's Sunday hats,
+    And even spoiled the women's chats,
+      By drowning their speaking
+      With shrieking and squeaking
+    In fifty different sharps and flats.
+
+
+III.
+
+    At last the people in a body
+        To the Town Hall came flocking:
+    "Tis clear," cried they, "our Mayor's a noddy;
+        And as for our Corporation--shocking
+    To think we buy gowns lined with ermine
+    For dolts that can't or won't determine
+    What's best to rid us of our vermin!
+    You hope, because you're old and obese,
+    To find in the furry civic robe ease?
+    Rouse up, sirs! Give your brains a racking
+    To find the remedy we're lacking,
+    Or, sure as fate, we'll send you packing!"
+    At this the Mayor and Corporation
+    Quaked with a mighty consternation.
+
+
+IV.
+
+    An hour they sate in council,
+      At length the Mayor broke silence:
+    "For a guilder I'd my ermine gown sell;
+      I wish I were a mile hence!
+    It's easy to bid one rack one's brain--
+    I'm sure my poor head aches again,
+    I've scratched it so, and all in vain
+    Oh for a trap, a trap, a trap!"
+    Just as he said this, what should hap
+    At the chamber door but a gentle tap?
+    "Bless us," cried the Mayor, "what's that?"
+    (With the Corporation as he sat,
+    Looking little though wondrous fat;
+    Nor brighter was his eye, nor moister
+    Than a too-long-opened oyster,
+    Save when at noon his paunch grew mutinous
+    For a plate of turtle green and glutinous)
+    "Only a scraping of shoes on the mat?
+    Anything like the sound of a rat
+    Makes my heart go pit-a-pat!"
+
+
+V.
+
+    "Come in!"--the Mayor cried, looking bigger:
+    And in did come the strangest figure!
+    His queer long coat from heel to head
+    Was half of yellow and half of red,
+    And he himself was tall and thin,
+    With sharp blue eyes, each like a pin,
+    And light loose hair, yet swarthy skin
+    No tuft on cheek nor beard on chin,
+    But lips where smile went out and in;
+    There was no guessing his kith and kin:
+    And nobody could enough admire
+    The tall man and his quaint attire.
+    Quoth one: "It's as my great-grandsire,
+    Starting up at the Trump of Doom's tone,
+    Had walked this way from his painted tombstone!"
+
+
+VI.
+
+    He advanced to the council-table:
+    And, "Please your honours," said he, "I'm able,
+    By means of a secret charm, to draw
+    All creatures living beneath the sun,
+    That creep or swim or fly or run,
+    After me so as you never saw!
+    And I chiefly use my charm
+    On creatures that do people harm,
+    The mole and toad and newt and viper;
+    And people call me the Pied Piper."
+    (And here they noticed round his neck
+    A scarf of red and yellow stripe,
+    To match with his coat of the self-same cheque;
+    And at the scarf's end hung a pipe;
+    And his fingers they noticed were ever straying
+    As if impatient to be playing
+    Upon his pipe, as low it dangled
+    Over his vesture so old-fangled.)
+    "Yet," said he, "poor Piper as I am,
+    In Tartary I freed the Cham,
+    Last June, from his huge swarms of gnats,
+    I eased in Asia the Nizam
+    Of a monstrous brood of vampyre-bats:
+    And as for what your brain bewilders,
+    If I can rid your town of rats
+    Will you give me a thousand guilders?"
+    "One? fifty thousand!"--was the exclamation
+    Of the astonished Mayor and Corporation.
+
+
+VII.
+
+    Into the street the Piper stept,
+      Smiling first a little smile,
+    As if he knew what magic slept
+      In his quiet pipe the while;
+    Then, like a musical adept,
+    To blow the pipe his lips he wrinkled,
+    And green and blue his sharp eyes twinkled,
+    Like a candle-flame where salt is sprinkled;
+    And ere three shrill notes the pipe uttered,
+    You heard as if an army muttered;
+    And the muttering grew to a grumbling;
+    And the grumbling grew to a mighty rumbling;
+    And out of the houses the rats came tumbling.
+    Great rats, small rats, lean rats, brawny rats,
+    Brown rats, black rats, grey rats, tawny rats,
+    Grave old plodders, gay young friskers,
+      Fathers, mothers, uncles, cousins,
+    Cocking tails and pricking whiskers,
+      Families by tens and dozens,
+    Brothers, sisters, husbands, wives--
+    Followed the Piper for their lives.
+    From street to street he piped advancing,
+    And step for step they followed dancing,
+    Until they came to the river Weser
+    Wherein all plunged and perished!
+    --Save one who, stout as Julius Cæsar,
+    Swam across and lived to carry
+    (As he, the manuscript he cherished)
+    To Rat-land home his commentary:
+    Which was, "At the first shrill notes of the pipe,
+    I heard a sound as of scraping tripe,
+    And putting apples, wondrous ripe,
+    Into a cider-press's gripe:
+    And a moving away of pickle-tub-boards,
+    And a leaving ajar of conserve-cupboards,
+    And a drawing the corks of train-oil-flasks,
+    And a breaking the hoops of butter-casks:
+    And it seemed as if a voice
+    (Sweeter far than by harp or by psaltery
+    Is breathed) called out, 'Oh rats, rejoice!
+    The world is grown to one vast drysaltery!
+    So munch on, crunch on, take your nuncheon,
+    Breakfast, supper, dinner, luncheon!'
+    And just as a bulky sugar-puncheon,
+    All ready staved, like a great sun shone
+    Glorious scarce an inch before me,
+    Just as methought it said, 'Come, bore me!'
+    --I found the Weser rolling o'er me."
+
+
+VIII.
+
+    You should have heard the Hamelin people
+    Ringing the bells till they rocked the steeple
+    "Go," cried the Mayor, "and get long poles,
+    Poke out the nests and block up the holes!
+    Consult with carpenters and builders,
+    And leave in our town not even a trace
+    Of the rats!"--when suddenly up the face
+    Of the Piper perked in the market-place,
+    With a, "First, if you please, my thousand guilders!"
+
+
+IX.
+
+    A thousand guilders! The Mayor looked blue;
+    So did the Corporation too.
+    For council dinners made rare havoc
+    With Claret, Moselle, Vin-de-Grave, Hock;
+    And half the money would replenish
+    Their cellar's biggest butt with Rhenish.
+    To pay this sum to a wandering fellow
+    With a gipsy coat of red and yellow!
+    "Beside," quoth the Mayor with a knowing wink,
+    "Our business was done at the river's brink;
+    We saw with our eyes the vermin sink,
+    And what's dead can't come to life, I think.
+    So, friend, we're not the folks to shrink
+    From the duty of giving you something to drink,
+    And a matter of money to put in your poke;
+    But as for the guilders, what we spoke
+    Of them, as you very well know, was in joke.
+    Beside, our losses have made us thrifty.
+    A thousand guilders! Come, take fifty!"
+
+
+X.
+
+    The Piper's face fell, and he cried,
+    "No trifling! I can't wait, beside!
+    I've promised to visit by dinner-time
+    Bagdad, and accept the prime
+    Of the Head-Cook's pottage, all he's rich in,
+    For having left, in the Caliph's kitchen,
+    Of a nest of scorpions no survivor:
+    With him I proved no bargain-driver,
+    With you, don't think I'll bate a stiver!
+    And folks who put me in a passion
+    May find me pipe after another fashion."
+
+
+XI.
+
+    "How?" cried the Mayor, "d' ye think I brook
+    Being worse treated than a Cook?
+    Insulted by a lazy ribald
+    With idle pipe and vesture piebald?
+    You threaten us, fellow? Do your worst,
+    Blow your pipe there till you burst!"
+
+
+XII.
+
+    Once more he stept into the street,
+      And to his lips again
+    Laid his long pipe of smooth straight cane;
+      And ere he blew three notes
+                                     (such sweet
+    Soft notes as yet musician's cunning
+      Never gave the enraptured air)
+    There was a rustling,
+    that seemed like a bustling
+    Of merry crowds justling at pitching and hustling,
+    Small feet were pattering, wooden shoes clattering,
+    Little hands clapping and little tongues chattering,
+    And, like fowls in a farm-yard when barley is scattering,
+    Out came the children running.
+    All the little boys and girls,
+    With rosy cheeks and flaxen curls,
+    And sparkling eyes and teeth like pearls.
+    Tripping
+    and skipping,
+    ran merrily after
+    The wonderful music with shouting and laughter.
+
+
+XIII.
+
+    The Mayor was dumb, and the Council stood
+    As if they were changed into blocks of wood,
+    Unable to move a step, or cry
+    To the children merrily skipping by.
+    --Could only follow with the eye
+    That joyous crowd at the Piper's back.
+    But how the Mayor was on the rack,
+    And the wretched Council's bosoms beat,
+    As the Piper turned from the High Street
+    To where the Weser rolled its waters
+    Right in the way of their sons and daughters!
+    However he turned from South to West,
+    And to Koppelberg Hill his steps addressed,
+    And after him the children pressed;
+    Great was the joy in every breast.
+    "He never can cross that mighty top!
+    He's forced to let the piping drop,
+    And we shall see our children stop!"
+    When, lo, as they reached the mountain-side,
+    A wondrous portal opened wide,
+    As if a cavern was suddenly hollowed;
+    And the Piper advanced and the children followed,
+    And when all were in to the very last,
+    The door in the mountain side shut fast.
+    Did I say, all? No; One was lame,
+    And could not dance the whole of the way;
+    And in after years, if you would blame
+    His sadness, he was used to say,--
+    "It's dull in our town since my playmates left!
+    I can't forget that I'm bereft
+    Of all the pleasant sights they see,
+    Which the Piper also promised me.
+    For he led us, he said, to a joyous land,
+    Joining the town and just at hand,
+    Where waters gushed and fruit-trees grew,
+    And flowers put forth a fairer hue,
+    And everything was strange and new;
+    The sparrows were brighter than peacocks here,
+    And their dogs outran our fallow deer,
+    And honey-bees had lost their stings,
+    And horses were born with eagles' wings;
+    And just as I became assured
+    My lame foot would be speedily cured,
+    The music stopped and I stood still,
+    And found myself outside the hill,
+    Left alone against my will,
+    To go now limping as before,
+    And never hear of that country more!"
+
+
+XIV.
+
+    Alas, alas for Hamelin!
+      There came into many a burgher's pate
+      A text which says that Heaven's gate
+      Opes to the rich at as easy rate
+    As the needle's eye takes a camel in!
+    The Mayor sent East, West, North, and South,
+    To offer the Piper, by word of mouth,
+      Wherever it was men's lot to find him,
+    Silver and gold to his heart's content,
+    If he'd only return the way he went,
+      And bring the children behind him.
+    But when they saw 'twas a lost endeavour,
+    And Piper and dancers were gone for ever,
+    They made a decree that lawyers never
+      Should think their records dated duly
+    If, after the day of the month and year,
+    These words did not as well appear,
+    "And so long after what happened here
+      On the Twenty-second of July,
+    Thirteen hundred and seventy-six:"
+    And the better in memory to fix
+    The place of the children's last retreat,
+    They called it, the Pied Piper's Street--
+    Where any one playing on pipe or tabor,
+    Was sure for the future to lose his labour.
+    Nor suffered they hostelry or tavern
+      To shock with mirth a street so solemn;
+    But opposite the place of the cavern
+      They wrote the story on a column,
+    And on the great church-window painted
+    The same, to make the world acquainted
+    How their children were stolen away,
+    And there it stands to this very day.
+    And I must not omit to say
+    That in Transylvania there's a tribe
+    Of alien people that ascribe
+    The outlandish ways and dress
+    On which their neighbours lay such stress,
+    To their fathers and mothers having risen
+    Out of some subterraneous prison
+    Into which they were trepanned
+    Long time ago in a mighty band
+    Out of Hamelin town in Brunswick land,
+    But how or why, they don't understand.
+
+
+XV.
+
+    So, Willy, let me and you be wipers
+    Of scores out with all men--especially pipers!
+    And, whether they pipe us free from rats or from mice,
+    If we've promised them aught, let us keep our promise!

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate

+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
