WIRDTJE FOÄRAOF.

Clips-Rymkes! scille jimme wol sizze, Læsers! Clips-Rymkes? dat is tjuster. Just, tjuster is 't, in dat woe 'k eack mey dit wird to kennen jaen. Ick hoopje mar, dat it jinge jimme fierder sjen scille, ljeacht wirde mey; in dat 't jimmen net giet, as mey 'n hopen buwcken, mey ljeachte opschriften (titels) in tjustere ynhalden.

Freget min lyckwols neyer uetlizzinge fen 't wird, ick scil myn bæst er op dwaen, muwlk wirdt it yn allen sa klaer net, as oare foärredens: now, den mat dit eack mar ien clips-wirdtje foäraof hjitte.

De Hollâners neame socke rymkes Snavel-, (by forkoärtinge: snel, eygentlick beck, snou-) Punt- as Hekeldichtjes; as leawwer: hwat hja mey dy trye wirden sizze wolle, siz ik mey dit iene.

Eclips, as lyck as wy, Friezen, sizze: Clips-rymkes binne it, it iene is wol hwat tjusterer (bedeckter) as 't oare, mar allegeärre draeye se sa folle wol, dat er hjirre as dære altiid wol ien rântje beditsten wirdt; howol 't ick just net op ien prick aof wil, ho 't it draeit, as ho 't it snijdt, declineert, aofwycket, neyerkomt, op graeden, menueten in seconden aof, lyck as de loftgeleerden in hymelkindigen. Mar dit wyt ick: lyck as er onderscheid ynne greatte fenne Clipsen ynne Natuwr is, sa scil min hjir aeck onderscheid sjen: altiid binne myn Clipsen net allycke moay; dit hinget sims simpel fen 't waer aof.

Min hat ommers sa goe' waer (moay waer, inkelde daegen alheel gen waer) ynne boärgerlicke, sedelicke, steatkindige wrald in yn ues breinkasten as ynne Natuwr. (Jean Paul maake miniatur-clipsen yn syn huwshaldinge).[A]

Dærby is de iene folle gouwer klear as de oare, mey to sizzen: "'t is ljeacht, as: "'t is tjuster!" kreckt as min 't sjucht by ien sinneclips, dy 't de kickerts oan 't raesen bringt, omt hja miene, dat de nacht harren oerfalt, wyl 't greater beesten, minder forfeard, stil de beusichheit fenne dey foartsette. Eack kin ien lytse clipse sims mear tumult meitse, as ien greaten, as er mar klaer waer treft: dit seagen wy oan Jan Karel Josephus van Speyk, de 5 Feb. 1831, ynne heldere daegen fenne tjiendeysce fieldtogt.—In waerd sa, by Napoleons tiiden, de lytse broederscip net beclipse troch 'e greate fryheid in gelyckheit?

Ién forsiik lyckwol, Læsers! to wyten: tink net, dat ick de iene as de oare mey dizze as jinge wirden op 't each hie, wol saecken. It rymke: "Op Immen," mey er de schyn fen hawwe, it wæsen ontbreckt er oan; went it is louter de weärrega fen Op Iemand (as Ingelinne). In is 't, da min sims by de earste læsinge mient, dat it wol sa is; as dat min net sjen ken, wær 't igge as ein fæst sit, yn 't jinge ick op pompier maulke—læs noch 'ris, in tink er ien byttje op ney, as 't jimmen beleaft! in jimme scille fornimme, dat ick my-sels faeker beclipse as ien oar. Ynne Natuwr giet 't ommers eack sa; went moânne- in sinneclipsen binne eigentlick ierdclipsen. Yn 't earste gefal blieowt er meastentiid noch al ien byttje ljeacht oer, in ien sinneclips is sims wol ris tiige great, mar noait totael: ien lytse bol ken ommers ien greaten noait al heel in de al wey meitse; lytse ljeachten noait de greate al heel fortjusterje, it haldt mey ien lytse schymer al hird op: better ken ien great bol him sels beclipsje. Mochte it eack al ris barre, dat myn clipsen jimmen to swart, to tjuster in to gleuan as sa hwat binne—och, minscen! wol se hwat trogge fingers sjen, in tink: "hwa is er oppe wrald dy dær buwten kin?"

CLIPS-RYMKES

ABBECAET.

Sjucht min cometen oan'e stirt,
 Ho dat har baenen binne,—
 'k Lieouw dat min sa oan 't jild wys wirdt,
 Ho 't 'e Abbecaten rinne;
 Fen oare kleaten mey min 't dwaen,
 Hjir ken nen minsc' de loop op jaen.

ADELDOM.

Fen 't adeldom? ho dom! neamt min de wysheit[B] sa?
 Brocht net de slange yn 't Haof den d' adel minscdom ta?
 In dat wier ommers wiis:—de minsc moäst falle in stean:
 'n Alle adels neam ik dom, dy foar as ney dy gean'.

APEL.

Hwa 't alleman fordomt, omt Adem apels mocht—!
 Ick jaen myn tawird net:
 'k Ha 't Adem eack net jown, 'k hoopj 't hy yn 't jongst gerjucht
 Yn my ién foarspraek het.
 [Pg 6]

BEGJIN.

't Begjin hat nen begjin as ney ien fæst besluet,
 In hwat it ein beschrieowt—socks wiist 't begjin faeks uet.

BEWIIS.

Is mannich troch 't bewiis net faek forbjustre racke,
 Omt min mey ljeacht bij ljeacht, nen ljeacht mar schymer macke?

BUCHEL.

"Gebreckich, dy ien buchel hat!"
 Dat lycket Tryn hwat geck ta:
 "'t Is oerfloed," seit se, "Ey ju!" sey Tet,
 "'t Komt, 't each wol synes eack ha."

C.

It Hollâns hat nen C, ho scil min cint den schrieowe?
 Sint! (hillich?) 't koe nen quea: cint sintet 'n hopen lieowe.

C H A R O N. [C]

Hwat hie 'k, aldman, foarhinne ien fear,
 Dat bæst wier; hwat is 't now?
 Forgees—de minscen kenne n't mear,—
 Forgees is 't now, dat 'k schow.[Pg 7]
 'k Tochte earst, 'k lizz' foär myn alde dey,
 'n Miljoen braspennings,[D] glædwey, wey:—
 Romein in Griek dy hiene
 By 't stalt; mar Jood in Christ'nen staen',
 Mey lege buwssen 'n moaye klean;
 Hwat scoen' dy schepsels miene!
Wyl 't ick it folle drocker ha,
 (Min stoomt my 't folk bij fleten ta!)
 'n Now minder yitte barre?
 Ne, is de wraldmerk' mar ris oer,
 As 'k harren eack ien reckning stjoer!
 Forgees scil ick net farre.
'n Doärwaerder ('k sizz' 't har, dy hwat wyt)
 Dy hat myn spil ynn' hannen;
 In as it Hege Rjuchtshaof sit,
 Den huwcht 't er net to spannen,
 As 't is mar: "wey, mey him! (in foart)
 "Hast' dy to wrald mey 'n oärmans goed,
 Formacke in dien, man, bæstich!
 Dat mast belye, hondert jier,[E]
 [Pg 8] Mienst 't Charon hjir dyn jonge wier?
 Dær foär 's syn fear to laestich!"
Now, minscen! tink 'ris onderweis,
 Ho blieow 'k 'n knap man de læste reis:
 Tjien duiten binn' jimm' nedich;
 As cinten binn't now—sândeheal—
 't Is 't selde eack ho 't it hjit—'t prins'peal
 Dat macket ues hjir fredich.
Fen Adems tiid is myn octrooi
 My jown troch Gods genaede:
 'n Yn 't earst wier 'k wol ien byttje loay;
 Mar 'k waerd' sims eack oerlaeden
 Mey swiere frachten[F] dærom seach
 Ick, dat ien ink'len oars foart teach;[G]
 Mar dat bart now net langer,
 'k Far now op Gods genaede ta,
 In somt 'k by JEZUS hellinge ha,
 Waerd 'k eack ien byttje stranger.
To fore sette ick wol ris oer
 Foar 'n botsen, 'n blank as foar ien stoer,
 Sims by de gratie allinne:[H]
 Mar 't swier fortimm'rjen twinget my,[Pg 9]
 (De berntjes blieow' noch lyckwols fry)
 Dat mat ick eack wær winne.
In dærom, minscen! dwaen jimm' bæst,
 Went, sycker, 't eintje draecht it læst:
 "Steun op genaede allinne,
 As jimme klear binn' mey de fracht;
 Went CHRISTUS jouwt noukeurich acht,
 Ho flytich dat we binne.

Cinten cinten.

Cinten
 Sinten'
 't Christendom:
 Christ'en
 Christ'nen'
 Christus om.

DEA.

Kenn' wy mey better feärman farre,
 As dy ues ney de hymel bringt!
 Wy blieowe eack den by him bewarre,
 As schip in laeding yit forsinkt.

DOMENYS.

Och: dom en nys! sa ken min 't læse;
 't Wier better wiis in nys, tocht' my:
 Wier 't domme nys: (freamd) 't mocht sa wæse—
 Mear wiis nys kaem fen domeny.
 [Pg 10]

DROME.

Jan seit, dat 't libjen dromen is,
 Klaes mient, 't is fier it plankjen mis;
 Dat striidt as ljeacht in tjuster;
 Mar ick sizz': drome in miene is ien,
 Wirdt sliepend 't ien, 't oar weitsend' dien—
 't Is beyde 't buwckjen bjuster.

EARE.

Muwlk is dit blinkjend goed
 Dat 'e wrald foär echt forkleärret,
 Meast all'geärr' falsce munt
 As de iiwichheit 't wirddeärret.

ECHT.

"De H foär echt,"
 Seit HALBE, "is hecht:
 'n De man is 't hoofd, sa tinkt it my,"
 "In de S foar echt,"
 Seit Sipk, "klinkt sæcht:
 Ick bin de hals, sa draey ick dy."
 Nen letters—rjucht as krom,
 Dy dope ien echte echt om.

EED.

Twae fingers? hwat ien quea! sa doar min God oanroppe!
 'n Falsce eed beswaerd mey 'n eed!—ién is er ommers boppe.[Pg 11]
 Tink oane schrift, dy seit: swaer by nen ding, mar sizz':
 "Ja, né,"—mey 't hert—dat dær by muwlk forgetten is.

FARYSEE.

Bekeard yn wird; yn 't wæsen
 In Ingel, foär ien oar;
 Mar net yn 't hert to læsen,
 Went satan stiet 'er foar;
 O! neam him och noch wé,
 Mar simpel: Fariseé![I]

FRY-GOD (CUPIDO).

O guwchlery!
 Fen pylkje in wjuck,
 Hwat macket dy
 Ues 't libben drock!
"Wird' ryck, wird wiis,
 As Salemo!"
 (Sa swetste, o biis!
 ô Cupido!)
 "Sa min as him
 Strekt rie noch die,[Pg 12]
 As net myn stim
 Wralds liedsman wie."
Ho lyts—'n great biis,
 ô Cupido!
 Bist': ryck in wiis
 As Salemo?!
Moarnsier, jounslet,
 By nacht, by dey,
 Hwa taogest' net
 Fenn' goede wey!
Dyn eygen moer
 (Godin dær 't wier!)
 Hwat hold hja oer
 Fen 't moai? nen sier,
 Somt hja troch dy
 Beguwch'le waerd:
 Vulkaen—har fy—
 Hat har forsmaed.
Fry wiern wij, biis!
 Wierst' dow yn 't net:
 Mar jong in griis
 Hast dow forret
Forret, altiid;
 't Is mickje in—sjit?
 In dat ta spyt
 Noch fryen hjit.[Pg 13]
Ja, fryen, biis!
 Dyn guwch'lery:
 In ryck noch wiis
 Is by dy fry.
't Is slaewerny,
 Wol sæft, mar fæst:
 Dyn wjuckjes—fy!
 Wær jaen' se ræst?
Hwat libbet, sjucht
 Al wær ney dy;
 Ho schjin ues nocht,
 Wy blieow' dy by.
Earst den is 't uet,
 As 't kald gebient,
 Him, lease guet!
 Mey 't græf forient.
Neam 't fry den fryen,
 O lytse biis!
 "'t Græf eint ues lyen,"
 Sizze ick, is wiis.

[Pg 14]

FYN.

Fyne noäskes, fyne tongkjes;
 Fyne hoäskes, fyne schonkjes;
 Fyne glæskes, fyne wyntjes;
 Fyne mæskes, fyne lyntjes;
 Fyne speckjes, fyne swaerdjes;
 Fyne beckjes, fyne graedtjes;
 Fyne spierkes, fyne luwdjes;
 Fyne knierkes, fyne huwdtjes;
 Fyne feltjes, fyne faldjes;
 Fyne steltjes, fyne kraldtjes;
 Fyne liiskes, fyne triëdtjes;
 Fyne biiskes, fyne sniëttjes;
 Fyne hoäntjes, fyne pripkes;
 Fyne kroantjes, fyne lipkes;
 Fyne hantjes, fyne lockjes;
 Fyne pantjes, fyne brockjes;
 Fyne prikjes; fyne flockjes;
 Fyne stickjes, fyne pockjes;
 Fyne hattjes, fyne spiltjes;
 Fyne mattjes, fyne prultjes;
 Fyne snaeren, fyne waeren;
 Fyne slypers, fyne knypers;
 Fyn ... fyne ... er falt my net mear yn—
 As...—groue minscen wirde fyn!

GEBOD. (ALFTE)

'k Hald m'oan 'e tjien geboden Gods,
 'k Steun op syn frye genaede,[Pg 15]
 In Christus is myn deel, myn rots;—
 'k Belyd', 'k bin swier belaede
 Mey sondenschuld fen fleisch in bloed....
 "Mar mey 'k je den ién rie jaen, Sjoerd?
 Nim 't alft' gebod er yit noch by:
 Foryff'lje nimmen—God noch my!"

GECKOANSTECKEN.

As 'k sizz': de "jonkheit brânt yit, grien,
 De griisheit toär in heal forgien,
 Ho alder noch ho gecker".
 Bin 'k den geckoan, as bin 'k ien geckoanstecker?

GRIIS, GRIIZ.

Is griis net griis in wiis,
 Den 's griis ien griize griiz.

HERT.

Dit 's 't oerglæs fenne siel, dær bloed troch rint as sân,
 Min foun yit folle al uet, foaral in Ingelân;
 Mar 'n nye sielklock net, 'k lieow, dit rint eaek to fier:
 Ién letter koe 't oars dwaen, as Ing'lân Ing'llân wier.
Fen Poppenwier ney Dearsum, rydt
 Ien post by nacht in dey;
 In opt 'e Directeur kreckt wyt,
 Ho trou 't min 't oer 'e wey gean lit,
 Juwch Hy dit oerglæs mey.
 [Pg 16]

HONGER.

Elts' minsce hat hast ien hear,
 In is foär 'n oar syn'n daof.
 Mar honger kloppet oan,
 In 't is—ien kudde, ien g'loof.

HONK.

Wy kry'boatse oppe wrald as bern,
 In sette fry hwat schonk;
 't Spant, dat min 't mey 'n oar fyne ken,
 Foar 't 'e dea seit: hjir is honk!

ICK.

Hwat ick is, wyt ick net:
 't Hjit fleisch in bloed yn 't libben;
 Bin ick, as 't græf my hat,
 Den huwd in hier in ribben?

IEN ICK.

't: "Ien Ick" is altiid frëâmd foar my;
 Is 't eack nen nuewer stickje?
 Went, as er immen trouwt, mat dy
 Him-sels den yit forickje?

IMMEN. (OP)

Ynne hel binn' diwels, freuanen!
 Diwelinnen binn' dær net:
 Oppe wrald binn' dy fæst bleauwn, in
 'k Lieow, dat min yn dat huws ien hat.
 [Pg 17]

JAN IN......

Wær is jow wyf fen dinne, Jan?
 M myn f frou ... d dat is en Kuindersman.

JANEVER.

Is 't 't Fransc genèvre? je—ney 't Hollansc? Frysc? as Ingelsch?
 Janever seit m'n op 't Frysc, op 't Ingelsc is 't læste ewwer;[J]
 Hja neam' jenever gin, gin! ewwer? ick woe leawwer
 Dat 't Ingelsc ues gin[K] wier, in 't ever-gin! frysc-ingelsc.

JILD.

God Plutus tuenket mey de wrald,
 Hy is wolsteld, mar dom;
 Oars bæste boaden, dy 't er haldt:
 Faem Venus wuerr't, in Bachus-om
 Dy schoffelt now in den ien gong;
 Mar Plutus bruwckt kald jild ta dong.
 In omt dit roun is, komt it yit
 Dat hjir sims neat in dær wær fiërst to folle sit;
 Ien inkeld sté hat mar fen pas:
 Sa dwaende, jouwt ues wrald ien hopen misgewas.

NB. Fen PLUTUS, de Jildgod, fenne mansiike VENUS in fen BACHUSOM, dy swiete prieower, scil min, tink ick, wol mear wyte, as er hjir fen schreauwn stiet, to mear, dær 't 'er now al sahwat oeral fenne goderye leard wirdt.

[Pg 18]

KLEYSIICKTE.

De kleysiickte onder 't fee! hwa het er oait fen heärd!
 'k Miend 't socks de minscen scheelde;
 Mar—'k tink, dat har gekley de hymel oandien hat,
 In 't dærom mear fordeelde.

KOLOANJE.

Koloanje Willemssoad!
 Ien soad foär 't Haed fen 't Lan?
 Is dat ien Christen oard—
 't Giet boppe myn forstàn.
"Koal-oan, ju! alles breck,"
 Sey Binse, (mat min 't læse)
 "Mat 'n Willems-soad genæse!"
 Now, den is 't net sa geck!

KROADE (OPPE).

De stoomkunst rint yit fier!
 In sjuch, ho feylich is 't:
 Hjir sliept de passegier
 In droomt de machinist.

LAMPEN. (SPAR)

Ja, oalje-dom wier de alde dey;
 (God mey 'r ues foâr bewarje!)
 Do barnden lampen de oalje wey,
 Now haw' wy goed, dy-sparje!
 [Pg 19]

LICHME.

Ues lichme is aeydop lyck,
 Myn freuanen! As wy steârre,
 Is 't neat; went 't iiw'ge pyck
 Komt uet 'e siel, de deârre.

LJEACHTMIS.

Fy, all'gearr, 't ljeachtmis, ald in ny?
 Né, hwat ick lieow, dat lieow ick net:
 Dit neam ick sins-forbjustery,
 'n Dat 's 't tjusterst tjuster dat min hat.

MAL.

Net altiid in oeral,
 Mar is 't net faek 't gefal:
 Ien bastert 't mal fen 't mal?

MATTH. 7:21.

O grouel, dy dit wird forjit!
 Al: "Heare, Heare!" ropt, mar lit
 Al hwat de Heare ues hjir belæste:
 Is 'n Heareschreeuwer net op wey—
 Wær sa'n ien den belânje mey,
 Dy God lit dwaen, om sels to ræsten!?

MINSCEN.

De minscen, weagens lyk, dy troch Gods asem rinne,
 Geane op in del ney 't græf; in schomje en bruwze mear,
 Ney 't hja yn rommer sé as oan 'e kusten binne:
 'n Hjir duwckt ien as ien berch, in dær ien as ien fear!
 [Pg 20]

N.N.

Ken m'n onbekend uet N.N. læse,
 De greatste N.N. mat God wol wæse.

NEYGEANDE.

Neygeande is elts hjir, jong in ald,
 Mey boase lust yn 't herte;
 Neygeande! it is mar: "krye in hald!"
 Nen Ingels kin 't belette.
 Hwat Ingels! Doom'nys leare ues 't quea,
 Hja wiise ues sels de wey
 Yn 't neygean: sjuch! ien earme dea
 Giet min oan 't græf ta ney.
 Neygeande minsc! dyn neyste bloed,
 As 't oan dyn kreft net leyt,
 Dy haldste yn 't neygean net to goed,
 As wier 't ynne iiwichheit!

NIMMEN.

Ick winskje nimmen dea;
 Mar NIMMEN woe 'k, dat stoar;
 Went dy docht alle quea
 Foâr my en foâr ien oar.

OALICK.

Is oalick ('n oar belickt) behoarlick,
 Den 's ommers eack 't wird: oalick: oarlick.
 [Pg 21]

OANTROUWD.

Baas Jan forlear syn wijf;
 de bern wiern' raer oerstjoer;
 Mar Jan blieowt fry constant,
 in treast't har om har moer.
 "Ja, bern!" seit hy, fen sels
 "jimm' mem—dat mat jimm' knelle;
 Ick wier mar oan har trouwd,
 mar 'k kin 't mar justjes stelle."

OMKOAL.

Ho ken min 'n omkoal sa forsmaedsje!
 Is den de hele wrald gen koal,
 In dær wy allegearr' ney aedsje?
 Mar—omkoal rint altiid om koal.

P.S.

P.S. Post Scriptum (Ney-schrift) Jan?
 't Prinspeal fen 't schrift meits ick er fen;
 Went hwast my schrieowst, ho folle, ho min—
 Forjitst' 't P.S.—'t hat slot noch sin.

PEIL.

Onpeilbre sé, hjit grondeloos,
 In noait is min 'r op druwchte racke;
 Mar hjit ien minsce sondeloos—
 Kin min dær eack sa peil optrecke?
 [Pg 22]

PINNE.

Schreauw mannich pinn' ris mey de fear—
 (Schoan 't minder wie' to læsen)
 'k Lieow, mannich scrift die net sa sear,
 In scoe sa djoer net wæse.
 Dat swarte in fyn'
 ('k Woe dat 'k it leach!)
 Is faeks fernyn
 Foär pong in each:
 Foär pong in each, dat wyt Notaris,
 As, lyck as Huygens seit: Nood daer is.

QUANSQUIIS.

'n Quacksalwrich wird neam ick, quansquiis
 Fen 'n bryckjend poep, ien Diwelbander;
 "Kràns! kriis! krâns! kriis!" spriik 'r uet: "quans! quiis!"
 In wær: "quans! quiis!" (it spande er)
 't Geloof heärt, quansquiis, rounom by;
 't Woe, dat we er, quansquiis sonder koenen,
 Mar ién quansquiis behalde wy,
 In dat is 't greatst quansquiis: it tjoenen.

QUEADE.

De Queade is ues comiis,
 Om sims ues deuchd to peylen,
 In wy, ynne oare wrald,
 Nen falsce waer' to feylen.
 [Pg 23]

QUEA JILD, QUEA MINSCEN.

Quea jild komt fen goe' minscen,
 Quea minscen fen goe' jild;
 't Falsc' jild fen echte minscen,
 't Falsc' minscdom fen echt jild.

RIE IN DIE.

'n Goe rie is folle wird'ch, mar mear noch ien goe' die;
 Mar foärrie 's alderbæst fen alle die in rie.

ROMTE.

"De wrald is eärsling!" sey dowe Acke,
 "Hwat ick mochte onderwyne,
 "Ho 'k screpte yn romte in romte macke,
 "Ick koe yit krapte fyne.

ROUWE.

'n Minsce' hat ien herte as stien;—syn neyste bloed forsteärr't,
 In hy giet djip ynn' rouwe,
 Sa lang 't hy heel nen læst fen rouw to wachttjen hat
 Yn him to gaen. Besouwe
 W' oer 't quea fenne earste fal—forlies foar 'e hele wrald—
 Dy waerd' berouwe opp' scheamte:
 Now rouw't min oeral yn, fen top ta tean; in haldt
 De queakleur better noch, 't blæd fen 't fiigebeamte!
 [Pg 24]

SATAN.

Al hwat de Heare wæs'ne is iiwich, altiid goed,
 Mar hwat ien minsce docht, is minder goed as tjoed.
 Is Satan kleare quea—hwa haldt min foär syn macker?
 Dy socks foär Gods wirk haldt, neam ick ien greaten stacker;
 Ien stacker lyck as him, dy fen nen goeddwaen wyt:
 Ien dwaes, dy 't mey him haldt, wiis dy him farre lit!

SJIPPE. (OM)

Om sjippe, giet min yit net fier,
 Wy haww' se yn 't Làn, mar lang forlyne;
 Do 't minsdom oergroeid sielsmoarch wier,
 Koe m'n echte to Jerues'lim fyne:
 Dær, wær 't de Hear Jezus libbe hie,
 'n Wralds sielsmert troch Him wosken wie,
 Teach 't midsyieuwsteam by fleten hinne
 Om sjippe—in brocht se net jamk thues:—
 In 't paed om sjippe is noch foar ues
 Oer de alde krueswey eack allinne.

SNIE.

As 't ierdryck, kald in stiif, schynt ynne rouw to sitten,
 Struy' de Ingels lowers del;
 Foär eltse steär ien steärke, om 't minsc'dom sjen to litten,[Pg 25]
 Ho 't God, sa hillich, sa great, altiid har heit wol hjitte,
 Dy d' ierde oan e hymel boun, sa fæst, dat neat har schiedt,
 O, minsce! set nin træd op 't godlick sniekleed del,
 As tins, dat God, as heit, syn leafde ues schoagje liet.

TEY.

De winter, ruwch yn 't bird, wirdt fenne sinne ynsjippe,
 'n Dy lit it fette sop (de tey) op 't ierdryck drippe.

TREFFER. (IEN)

Ald schipper Roel waerd minder oan;
 Syn ein, sei Dokter, scoe hast komme,
 In wyl 't min miende, dat 'er slomme,
 Wier Roelomme er uetschaedt tjinne moarn:
 De feint raop: "now! dat treft mar schoan—
 Hwat koe er moarns oars bromme!"

TRIËNNEN.

De triënnen sizze mear, as wirden ueterje kenne:—
 Is 't muwlck wol de iiw'ge tael, dy hjir ues siel yit spreckt?
 Is 'n minsce 't biild fen God,—'k lieouw, dat de triennen binne,
 Al 't jinge ues iiwich ick ken iiwichs hjir besinne,
 Sa 't 't wol by de iéne, in 't wea by de oare uet 't eachwiet breckt.
 [Pg 26]

UETSET.

Baes Pier syn aldste dochter trouwt,
 In omt se al gâns foaruet hat,
 Seit hy: hja hat genaoch foaruet!
 In treastet har mey 'e mans uetset.

UETSJEN.

Ien minsce, pas to wrald, sjucht uet, ney boartery;
 'n Ho âlder noch ho mear—yn 't ein de bril er by:
 Is 't ny'chheit, dat dit spil ues allegear 't steärren docht?
 Den eärste is 't uetsjen dien, as min jinsels uet sjucht.

UET TO YTEN, UETYTEN.

Uet t' yten, Sjirk? pas op dyn maege!
 Uet yten,—'k haw fen beiden wæst—
 Uet yten, kenst' net mear as draege,
 Uet t' yten jouwt noch swierder læst.

NB. Uet to yten is by de boeren uet to tjock-yten; uetyten, neame hja troch it yten uetset, dyd: yn de earste beteikenis wirdt Sjirk hjir eack sa oan spritsen; mar it de oare sjucht mear op uet lydschjin uet yten; as rom fen maege, slop.

WIRD. (GODS)

De heele Biibel hjit Gods wird:
 Ién wird, dær wy by tuws'nen læse!
 Mar 'k tink, dat 't mey 'n oar ién betjudt;
 In dat ken neat as Leafde wæse.
 [Pg 27]

WRADSEIN, WRADSSEIN.

"'t Iene ueterste uet, 't oare yn!" 'k lieow 't by gelearden fæst is;
 'n Hwa onderfynt 't eack net, dat hjir faeks freuchdsein læst is;
 In tuws'nen dingen mear dy in nen delen lycken,
 Dy meitse 't sizzen wier troch moaye in maole blyken:
 Hwat sa fenne oanfang aof oer' wrald in 't wraldsce sein is,
 Sizze ick yn ienen hjir: 'k lieow, dat wraldsein wraldssein is.

WIIF.

"'t Is Adems schuld," sey Jaey, "dat alle man fordomd waerd,
 Omt hy oan 't strueck'ljen racke,"
 Dat tank't de diwel dy, as dy ien ribbe omtnomd waerd,"
 Sey Jan, "hiest 't better macke?
 In—'k lieow, 't wier noch sa maol net roun,
 Hie hy, yn pleats fen 'n wiif, syn ribbe mar wær foun."

YNTJE JANSZ.

'n As song wraldssjongbaes yit,

 'n Noch moayer as it hjit,

YTE.

Neame ouverturen op fenn' greatste spylershaesen,
 Dit 's 't: "Generael-Hoezee!" sa lang 'r hwat is to aesen,
 De Maege stjoert 't orchest, in nimmen docht it better:
 As 't slim komt, macket 'r ien marsch—op druwch brea in kald wetter.

YTEN. (GEBED FOÄR)

"Kom, de eagen ticht, 'n de hannen gear!"
 Sa lear' wy 't quea as bern.[Pg 29]
 't Quea? 't bidden foär ues leawen Hear!
 Ja freuanen! 't quea, went sjen:
 Foär 't yten, net foär 'e Heare is 't, yit,
 Dat min de berntjes bidde lit:
 Sa wird' wy slaewen fenne wrald,
 Yit lyts in fry, lit stean den—ald!

OANTEIKENINGEN

BIJ DE

CLIPS-ODE.

1. Alles, hwat mar ald in hwat ny is, wirdt berymd, Læsers! in scoe min 't my den qualick nimme, dat ick ien ding sa ald in sa ny fen beiden, eack berymde?

Foaral net, as min wyt, dat iek eygentlick net sa 'n greaten rymer bin (dy hjitte lieow 'k tichters—dichters, mien ick) dat ick jimme in my sels fenne wrald loatse scoe, went ik ken net bæst omheech komme in ynne hichte forkeare, (den wird ick duwselich in 't begjint my to schymerjen) sa 't ick myn rymfjoer net ynne wolkens timperje ken, lyck as ... mar ik wol nen minsce beclipsje, mar dy immen sey: "ik schop den aardbol weg, en doop mijn wicken in de wolken!"

As 't jin sa begjint oan to gean in yn to barnen, den is 't better mey Sybe Kunst[O] to sizzen:

"Wij winsen u alle de segen van den Heer,
 En hiermede legge wij de pin neer."

2. Liouwert. Er binne dy sizze, dat er alear, do 't e Alde-haof ien beaken ynne Middelse wier, ien kastlein wenne, dy Lieowe hjitte, in, dat min him om syn bæstens Leawe (Lieowe) weard (hospes) neamde in dær fen dinne Leafweard, Lieuwert, Liouwert, Liouwt.[Pg 36]

Now schrieowt min op syn heech-hollans: Leeuwarden, 'k tink Leeuw-waarde, scil 't betjudde.

3. Den Haag, 's Gravenhage, 's Hage. Tink hjir, læser? oan Oldenbarneveld, prins Maurits in de de Witten; tink oan 'e tiiden fen ues romruftige séhelden in dizze stæd, tink oan 'e 10 deysce fjildtocht, oan Willem I in Willem II, yn in ney dy tiiden, in sizz' my den, as ick ongelyck ha, mey tu bewearen, dat min, nei dy onderscheidene tiid n de planeten waernimmende, clipsen yn soarten to sjen krye scoe?

Dordt. Hjir by is 't ommers genaoch de jierren 1618 in 1619 te schrieowen, om ues hoopje te litten, dat er einling fen dy clips sein wirde ken, hwat de namme fenne aldstæd to kennen jouwt:

Dor- Door- drecht—trek—Doortrek.

Trochreisgje, passeare, foarby gean; honear komt it sa noch? Clips! clips! clips!

St. Anna. (Sus Anna). Scoe 't dær sa erch wirden wæse mey Sus-anna, dat er ien heel doarp uet ontstien is? Min wyt, dat as er ien pear jonge lju trouwden, dy hwat to foarbaerich wæst hiene, dat den it St. Anna klockjen, onder 't lieden fen 't feestklockjen, now in den ris mey bingele, omdat ongemerkt uet to bringen, (min trouwde do oppe gis wey allegearr' ynne tjerke.) in ho luwder dat socks gong, ho mear Sus-Anna; dær fen dinne seyt min noch, (went it komt ommers noch wol ris to pas) dær rint ien bytje, as dær rint hwat fen Sus as St. Anna onder.

Grouw. As dat op syn etymologisch Ge-rouw, as Gea-rouw, as op syn Waldmans Grauw, as op syn suiwer Hollâns Graauw wirde ken as wæse mat, as dat it mey folle ou-en allyck schat wirde mat, 't is gâns clipsisch.

Terschelling. Eack al clipsisch. Is 't Tear (verteer) as teare schelling? (6 stoeren). As is 't ter schelvisch en ling! (visch in vangst er net forgetten, omt dy wirden oertollig wierne?) Den scoe 't oafkomstich wæse fenne[Pg 33] fiscery. As hat it de namme fenne Noardsee goden as reusen kryge, dy 't mar: ter schilling! neamden, omt mar wey to schylen, to packen? Wy scille dær strack noch ien stealtje fen jean by Akrom.

Heidelberg. By 'n party minscen, dy hwat lang scoen hawwe, ney clipsen oppe poolsce hichte fen Dordt bereckene, Heilige berg læsen. Hwat mat it wæse: Heide-berg as: Hei! del berg! Ick scoe 't mey 't læste halde; went ien heide-berch jouwt net folle frucht in ick mien, dat min dær yn dy stæd noch al ien byttje leafhabbery foar e wynstock hat, as hawn hat. To minsten, min hat er ien fet fen 36 foet lang in 24 foet heech.

As dat fol is, as dat it leech macke wirdt troch 'e Heidelberger godgeleardens, wyt ick net. Min kin, tinkt my, lyckwols neygean, dat sa 'n fet noch al hwat clips meitse koe. In—ien schrander reckenmaster hat uetcyfere, dat er by de forgaederinge fenne Dordsce Synode mear sopen (dronken, woe 'k sizze) is, as yn e ytlicke jieren, dat dit selde huws (dær hja do hymelkindigen by eltsoar wierne) ta herberch tjinne.

Ter Gouw sizze de scippers; Gouda seit min oars op syn Hollâns. It earste hat syn eygenscip ney it wetter: Gouw; it oare mey wol a! Goud! as Goud! a! as mey de h er foär Ha! Goud! wæse, as alde foärspelling troch 'e earste prekers dien, oppe kunst fen it glæsschildërjen fenne Crabetten. Hwa wyt it!

De Knype. Muwlk komt dit wird wol fen 't ken nype; min wyt den, dat it benouwtheit betjudt, as, dat it er nou besocht wirdt, dær fen dinne: as it nypt (knypt) in weder (wær) nypt (knypt) Boven in Beneden knype.

Drogeham. Scoe 't Droge, druwge, toärre ham; der ogen ham; as op syn Zeeuwsch in Grinslansch der hoogen (ham) wæse matte?

Dat hege in druwge is altiid min to schiften. Ick jaen hjir by noch ien riedling foär reckenmasters op, t.w.: Yn ho folle sprongen ien flie fenne Ham ynne Knype komme kin?[Pg 34]

Rys. Wær mey dit wird dochs wey komd wæse? Rys—biisemrys, rys, to sieden; riiz, omheechstiige; forbastere fen reis? (Dy twae læste wirden betjudde eack fen pleats foroarje, mar it læste kin alle kanten uet, in sa is 't dær by Rys, in 't earste mat altiid omheech.

Alles kin min er fen meitse. In dat hat eack wær syn eygenscip yn 't wird-sels. Tink oan 'e boal, læser! oan 'e hueshimmelers, oan 'e baenfegers, oan 'e kouedrieowers,—oan 't diarrhée, oan 't sop—oan 'e loftbollen; oan 'e gæst (in al hwat mear riist troch ynnimmen, ynjaen as ynsmytten) oan 'e actie's, oan 'e reisen by nacht in by dey, mey stoomscip as stoomwein, oan lytse in greate, goede in tjoede reisen, oan oafdiene in uetstelde reisen in oan siskes in spreckwirdtjes fen reisgjen in rys in riiz in riize oafkomstich.

Hwat wirdt er al sa net mey Rys dien, mey Rys yn alle beteikenissen fen 't wird? Hwa doar, hwa wol in hwa kin in hwa scil dit sizze. Mar—nysgierrich is 't dat er sa 'n aerige profetsye yn leit, dær min fen sizze mey, dat de tjinswirdige eygener de goede folbringer fen is. Dat syn Heech Berne foar alle tjoede clips bewarre blieowe mey—is de winsce fen myn hert!

Rome. Min seit it is ney Romulus neamd, dy foärsycker eak heech spriik, dær 't er keuning waerd (750 jier foar Jesus komste) in earst mey wolwinne maolke great macke is; sa 't min 't wol Berome, bereamme, beroomde, fette stæd doopt hawwe mey. Neyer hân is dat wirdke Be fæst wey-fallen: min lit ommers sa wol mear ien letter twae wey, as docht er ién as twae by ney eygen forkiesinge. Dat is alleman lyckwol net ta betrouwd, om mar to jaen in to nimmen, sa 't min wol. Sjogge hjir ien stealtje:

"Ik zal, sprak vader Vadius, dien ouden ram eens kelen;
 Maar snijdt gij me onderwijl de ballen knapjes af;"
 Terwijl hij zich gebukt aan 't slachterswerk begaf.[Pg 35]
 En 't knaapjen flink van hand, gehoorzaamt zijn bevelen,
 En—wip! daar ligt de boel in 't zand,
 En de arme Priester is ontmand,
 Uit misverstand.
 Spreek duid'lijk, die beveelt, gebieden is geen spelen.

Bilderdijk.

Mar—hwat Rome oangiet, vader Huygens tocht er eack sa oer, dat it beroomd room, fet op fet wier.

Hwat ien buwter dat dær eack al macke is, dat kenne nen pinnen beschrieowe; min mat de stæd sjen in sjoen ha yn onderscheiden tiiden, om dær ien tinkbiild oer to meitsen. Dær is hwat om ta gien! As it dær eack clipses joun hawwe scil? Ja, minscen! foaral somt Paus Gregorius yn 1512 de Almanakken forbettere hat in de clipsis er jier op jier yn bekend maeke waerden. Mar—hwat ick fenne histoarje fen Rome sizze mey: de Pausen hjitte er jimmer noch hillich. Min mient, dat dy hillige dynastie mar ienkear in eack foar altiid har sels clipse hat. Ien duetscer uet 18/19 yeuw seit er fen:

Kein Weib wie 's Einmal sich ergab,
 Wird künftig mehr zum Pabst erhoben;
 Denn jeder legt zuvor schon Proben
 Von seiner Manheit ab.

Haug.

Tiiden fen Luther, Erasmus, Leo in Tetzel binne wær yn oare qualiteit.

Munchen. Fen Mönch, Monnik. Min seit er fen, dat dy stæd yn fruchtberheit de measten yn Europa oertreft in yn sa fier oerclipset; er is clips in herclipsis.

Paris. Wær is Paris net mey it ien as it oar? Hjir mey har teal, dær mey har preal, dær mey har kunsten, hjir mey har kuren, dær mey har wyttenscip, dær mey har buwgen, hjir mey har hackebirden, dær mey har hierkrollen,[Pg 36] hjir mey har ruwckende, dær mey har stjonkende waer—allegearr' Paris!

De stæd-sels mat danich ynne mist dele. Yn 1844 mat it er sa erch wæst ha, dat de blynen de sjenden foar ien seur in ien leur to rjuchte brochten, omt hja better sonder eagen seagen as de oaren mey. Min hat er mear fen heärd, lyck as in 1572 (23, 24 Aug.) 1789, 1792, 1799, 1830. Mey ién wird: Paris wier mistich; is mistich in macket mistich.

Hjir by komt my noch ien mistpraetje yn 't sin, twisce ien scoenmacker in ien gelearde.

Gelearde.Wel, baes! jimm' haww' ien Domeny?
    Hwat tinkt je fen dy man?
Baes.Ien slimme fraech, mynhear! foär my,
    Dy 'k net beänderje kin,
As jy mat m' earst ien andert jaen
Op dizze fraech, fen my:
Hwat waer bringt follen fen 'e baen?
Gelearde.(schoert oppe mouwe in laket)
  Wel, baes! ho miene jy,
    Sa wyt ick 't net.
Baes.Myn goede man!
Heär den: sa tinkt it my:
As 't ljeacht noch tjuster is, is 't den
Nen mist? Now, dat 's ues Domeny!

4. Dearsum. De earseam, soom, som, sum? De earste um? In sa Dea 's um, hiem, plack, sté? Dearsum? Deare se him? Gelearden mey 'e beslisse; mar 't scil wol sa hwat wæse, to minsten as min er ien hondert jier twae oer practisearje wol, scil min wol wyte, hwat Dearsum is.

Rotterdam. Rotten (bisten) oppe daem? slimme daem; slim, as rotten oppe daem? It komt to minsten fen it wetter: rotte. As scoene de Rotterdammers de namme fen[Pg 37] ien schelnamme halden hawwe, fen Schiedam? dat hja seinen': 't rot al ter dam; 't forgiet ta slyck, modder.

't Rottet alles to slyck (dam). As giet it libben fen alle minscen net ney Rotterdam?

De iene macket de reis quart, de oare lang; de iene hat ien pleisierige, de oare ien beswierlicke, de iene ien foardelige, de oare ien scheadlicke reis, mar alle minscen komme op 't læst oer Dearsum ney Rotterdam, in dær fen dinne hoopje wy allegearre yn Hemelumer Oldephaer', mar net yn Noordwolde to kommen.

Wy begjinne ues reis fen Schoot in Poppenwier. Dær fen dinne geane ien hele boel rjuecht uet, oer Lytsewierum, ney de greate stæd. Oaren meitse it ien bytje oars, in rinne Lytsewierum foarby, geane troch Ytens in Wyns, as Alde in Nye Tryn, blieowe to lang yn Vrouwbuert, forslingerje sims ney Loyengea, ney de Knype in Jiskenhuesen; oaren studeare hwat to Nieuw-kruisland, oaren besiikje quansquiis de Hemelsce berch, as komme yn selscip fen studinten fen Ald- as Nykerk in sa hwat hinne; mar fen dizze in jinge komme er noch al folle ris ewentjes to Peins as to Weinterp; forslingerje now in den ris ney St. Anna in sa oer Swartsluws ney Rotterdam. Inkelden mey to Blija, to Hichtum as to Wolsum goede daegen slyte; as lang Ingelummer in Burgummer wæse, ienders giet it eack al de alde wey op.

Broek. Dær binne fen sels alle froulju ynne bruwk. Hat muwlk ien fenne Amazonen (Dowen mei bruwken oan) mey opset sin ien doarp oanlein, om de eare fenne frouljues bruwk foär iiwich op to halden? Min fynt se noch al mear yn ues Lân: Noardbroek, Zuidbroek, Bennebroek, Donkerbroek, in hwa wyt wær min al mear nen Broeken hat, dær min se al heel net mient to hawwen!

Schiedam. Hwat scil min er fen meitse? Scoe it eack fenne Ingelscen oafkomstich wæse; dy, omt se sly nen gin (jenever) binne, in dær bæste soarte founen, fen bliidscip floekten (dat dogge se mear) seinen: 's God dam? dat dit swietjes[Pg 38] wey yn Scho- Sche- Schiedam foroare is? As scoe 't posteriori gien wæse?—Min mey reckenje, sa fier in sa heech as min wol, de clipsen to bereckenjen oppe hichte fen Schiedam, in egaelwey it begjin, midden in ein oan to wiisen, in de greatte yn tommen to sizzen—sa 'n minsce hat er noait wæst in scil er eack noait komme. Né, alle ministers, hegeschoällen mey alle perfesters, alle reckenmasters mey 'n oar, dy er op Gods gansce ierdbodem wenje, binne dær net ta yn steat. De matigheits-, de aofschaffings in alle oare genoatscippen mey har bæst dwaen, om geschikte ystreminten to kryen, wær troch 't min se sonder schea troch sjen ken, dit is de cirkel-quadratuer ynne sedekinde in it macket de beschaewinge gelyck oan ien oaneindige breuk, dy de ienheit wol neyer in neyby komme, mar noait alheel uetdrucke ken.

Socke clipsen to bereckenjen, dær mochten de Almanakmaekers dochs wol ris mey begjinne!

Schiedam mey fen dinne wæse wær 't wol—wy sizze noch: "God damje 't!"

Loyengea. Is dit it alde "Luilekkerland" it gea fen lântlopers in luiwammesen? it Loyengea? 't gea, dat net folle opbringt? It hjit mey Goëngea de lege gea'n; legean, seit min ynne wânling. Is er eack oerienkomst to siikjen yn Loyela in Loyenga? It rymt foar in efter to minsten, in as de beyde eynen lyck lizze, passe de middens den eack net op eltsoar?

or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work

     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax

     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."

- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies

     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
     License.  You must require such a user to return or
     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
     Project Gutenberg-tm works.

- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the

both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.

1.F.

1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
your equipment.

1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGE.

1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
opportunities to fix the problem.

1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO OTHER
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.


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
and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.

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.
