The Disasters of War

And they are wild beasts

It always happens

Nor do these

This is what you were born for

And there is no remedy

They do not agree

There isn't time now

All this and more

They can still be of use

Charity

He deserved it

That's tough!

On account of a knife

Nor in this case

They escape through the flames

This too

And this too

This is how it happened

A woman's charity

They do not arrive in time

To the cemetry

What's the use of a cup?

The beds of death

Cartloads to the cemetery

This is not less so

They do not know the way

The consequences

Troupe of charlatanes

The rope is breaking

Truth has died
