SINT NIKOLAAS

EN ZIJN KNECHT.

DOOR
J. SCHENKMAN.

AMSTERDAM,
G. THEOD. BOM.

[Inhoud]

Jeugdige vriendjes! gaat vrolijk en blij,

Hier in dit boekje de prentjes beschouwen;

Leest er de versjes al lagchende bij,

(Immers dit kunt gij, zoo als wij vertrouwen.)

Ziet hoe Sint Niklaas zijn leven soms waagt,

Om u genoegen en vreugde te geven.

O, dat gij altijd zóó deugdzaam mogt leven,

Dat hij zich nimmer die moeite beklaagt.

J. S.

[Inhoud]

Aankomst van Sint Nikolaas.

Zie, ginds komt de Stoomboot

Uit Spanje weêr aan;

Zij brengt ons Sint Niklaas,

Ik zie hem reeds staan!

Hoe huppelt zijn paardje

Het dek op en neêr,

Hoe waaijen de wimpels

Al heen en al weêr!

Zijn knecht staat te lagchen,

En wenkt ons reeds toe:

„Wie zoet is krijgt lekkers,

„Wie stout was—een roê.”

[Inhoud]

Plegtige intogt van Sint Nikolaas.

Daar rijdt hij de stad door,

Op ’t prachtigst gekleed;

Zijn knecht draagt de geldkist

O, zie hoe hij zweet.

Het regent er bloemen,

Elk jubelt en juicht,

Terwijl zich Sint Niklaas

Op ’t vriendelijkst buigt.

Één echter verschuilt zich,

En tracht hem te ontvliên,

’t Is Willem, een domoor,

Maar ’t wordt ras gezien.

[Inhoud]

St. Nikolaas bij den Banketbakker.

Wat heerlijke Poppen!

Wat keurig banket

Staat hier voor de glazen,

Zoo sierlijk en net!

Wie trad er naar binnen?

O, gluur door die ruit!

De Bisschop koopt alles;

Zijn knecht draagt het uit.

’t Zijn zakken vol lekkers,

En koeken er bij;

O, kreeg ik er ééntje

Wat was ik dan blij!

[Inhoud]

St. Nikolaas in den Boekwinkel.

Wel hoe! kwam Sint Niklaas

Zoo waar nu weêr hier,

Om boekjes te koopen?—

Dat doet mij pleizier;

Want zie, dat ’s nog beter

Dan koek of banket;

Een boekje met prentjes

Geeft jaren lang pret.

O, vond ik er morgen

Maar een in mijn schoen!

’k Gaf hem en zijn knecht dan

Een hand en een zoen.

[Inhoud]

St. Nikolaas op den Schoorsteen.

O, zie eens naar boven!

Maar schrik er niet van.

Wat ziet ge op dien schoorsteen?

Een paard en een’ man!

Ja zeker, hij is het!

Zijn knecht staat er bij;

Hij gluurt naar beneden,

Misschien wel naar mij!

Ik groet u, Sint Niklaas!

Houd vrij mij in ’t oog,

Graag kwam ik eens bij u,

Maar ’t dak is zoo hoog.

[Inhoud]

St. Nikolaas luistert aan de Deur.

Wie gluurt daar door ’t reetje?

De deur is niet digt!

’t Is Niklaas, die luistert

Wat ieder verrigt.

Wie traag is in ’t leeren,

Of stout is of boos,

Sint Niklaas hoort alles,

Hij luistert altoos!

Hem kan men niet foppen,

Geloof mij opregt,

Wat hij niet gezien heeft,

Vertelt hem zijn knecht.

[Inhoud]

St. Nikolaas houdt Boek.

Sint Niklaas, de Bisschop,

Schrijft hier in zijn boek,

Al wat hij gehoord heeft

Bij ’t jaarlijksch bezoek.

Wie zoet was of stout was,

Hij voegt het er bij;

Wat zou hij wel schrijven

Van u en van mij?—

O, vraag het zijn knecht eens,

Die maakt toch dit jaar.

Voor al, wie niet stout was,

De zakjes weêr klaar.

[Inhoud]

St. Nikolaas op Strooiavond.

Het leeft in den schoorsteen,

Hoor, hoor dat geraas!

Hoe rollen hier de app’len,

’t Is vast Sint Niklaas!

Maar neen … ’t Is zijn knechtje,

Dat zwart is van kleur;

Want ginds staat de Bisschop,

Voor de opene deur.

Zing spoedig een liedje,

Zie, zie, hoe hij gooit!

Hoe harder wij zingen,

Hoe ruimer hij strooit.

[Inhoud]

St. Nikolaas in de School.

„Wel meester! hoe gaat het

„Met Mina en Koo?”

„„Ja waarde Sint Niklaas!

„„Dat is maar, zóó, zóó!””

„Verdienen ze een prijsje

„Of zijn zij ’t niet waard?”

„„Zij zijn als al de and’ren,

„„Wat vrolijk van aard.”

„Welnu dan, wie stil is

„En vlijtig hier leert,

„Ziet, als ik terug kom,

„Een prijs zich vereerd.”

[Inhoud]

St. Nikolaas in de Kinderkamer.

Een tafel vol speelgoed!

Wie had dit verwacht?

Nog nooit heeft Sint Niklaas

Zóó ruim ons bedacht.

Een zak Chocolaadjes!

Een mand vol banket!

Vier boeken met prentjes,

Zoo keurig en net!

En dan nog voor ieder

Een letter er bij!

O, was ieder kind, zoo

Gelukkig als wij!

[Inhoud]

St. Nikolaas bij Grootmama.

Wel Grootma, wel Grootma!

Kijk, dat vind ik mooi!

Een tafel vol lekkers,

En dat voor wat hooi!

Hoe klein was mijn schoentje,

Hoe groot dit present!

En dan nog een boekje,

Een doos, en een prent!

Wel Grootma, wel Grootma!

O geef mij een zoen!

Ik breng, na een jaartje,

Op nieuw u mijn schoen.

[Inhoud]

St. Nikolaas bij een Rijk Kind.

„Sint Niklaas! kom binnen,

„Wat moois brengt gij mee?

„Graag had ik een boekje!.…

„„Ik schenk u er twee.

„„Het een zal u leeren,

„„Dat Godsvrucht en deugd

„„Meer waard zijn dan schatten,

„„De bron zijn van vreugd.

„„Het tweede toont klaar u,

„„Wat vreugd men geniet,

„„Zoo men van zijn’ rijkdom

„„Ook d’ armen iets biedt.

[Inhoud]

St. Nikolaas bij een’ Snoeper.

De trommel is vol nog!

Geen mensch, die mij ziet;

Dus spoedig een koekje,

Dat mist men toch niet.

Help! Hemel, wat is dat,

Wie grijpt mij bij ’t oor?

O wee! ’t is Sint Niklaas,

Hoe raak ik er door!

Ach, Bisschop van Spanje!

Ach, laat mij maar gaan,

’k Zal nooit aan den trommel

Mijn handen weêr slaan.

[Inhoud]

St. Nikolaas bij een Arm Kind.

Wel is het Sint Niklaas,

Maar ach! niet voor mij!

Vast gaat hij ons hutje

Stilzwijgend voorbij!

O, mogt hij er komen,

Dan kreeg ik toch iets!

Elk krijgt wat van avond,

Maar ik, helaas niets!

’k Ben arm! … maar wat zie ik?

Een pop van taai taai!

O foei!—en ik morde!

Neen, dat was niet fraai!

[Inhoud]

St. Nikolaas bij Stoute Kinderen.

Ei, ei, die Sint Niklaas

Is lang na niet mak!

Daar stopt hij twee knaapjes

Pardoes in zijn zak.

’t Is loon vast naar werken,

En rijklijk verdiend.

Hij straft niet graag kindren,

Maar is hun een vriend.

O Bisschop! vergeef hun

Deez’ enkelen keer,

Schenk, schenk hun genade,

Zij doen het nooit weêr!

[Inhoud]

St. Nikolaas vertrekt.

Sint Niklaas vertrekt weêr!

Gebruik slechts uw oog,

Daar stijgt hij op ’t paardje

Per Luchtbal omhoog.

Zijn knecht zit in ’t schuitje,

Maar rilt als een blad;

’k Wed dat hij veel liever

In ’t Stoomschip weer zat!

De Bisschop lacht hartlijk,

En vreest geen gevaar;

Maar groet nog zijn vriendjes,

Tot ’t volgende jaar.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ 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™ trademark, and any other party distributing a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees.

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 MERCHANTABILITY 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™ electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg™ 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™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ 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 are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ 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™ 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 information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread 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 www.gutenberg.org/donate.

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: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright 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 website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, 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.
