1 健忘的人/A Forgetful Man
Tom was tired out, and he went to bed as soon as he reached home.
Suddenly it occurred to him that he had planned to do something that evening. As he could not remember what it was, he tossed and turned in his bed for a long time.

2 現在才賣

3 合理的哀傷/A Reasonable Affliction
On his deathbed poor Lubin lies; His spouse is in despair; With frequent sobs and mutual cries; They both express their care.

可憐的魯賓躺在他臨終的床上; 他的妻子陷入絕望; 兩人頻頻啜泣，相對哭啼， 他們都表達著憂傷。
