  • Two words of this German sentence, "üppige[n]" and "gute", are written with archaic runes. Though the "p" looks a bit different than in the current charts.

Ep1 Rune Das Hexeneinmaleins.jpg Das Hexeneinmaleins

Du mußt verstehn!
Aus Eins mach’ Zehn,
Und Zwey laß gehn,
Und Drey mach’ gleich,
[Archaic]
So bist du reich.
Verlier’ die Vier!
Aus Fünf und Sechs,
So sagt die Hex’,
Mach’ Sieben und Acht,
So ist’s vollbracht:
Und Neun ist Eins,
Und Zehn ist keins.
Das ist das Hexen-Einmal-Eins!

Witch's one-time-one

This you must ken (understand)!
From one make ten,
And two let be,
Make even three,
Then rich you'll be.
Skip o'er the four!
From five and six,
The Witch's tricks,
Make seven and eight,
'Tis finished straight;
And nine is one,
And ten is none,
That is the witch's one-time-one!
