Beschrijving
Old Hildebrand. An unfaithful wife pretends to be ill and sends her husband for medicine. On his way the husband meets another man and has him carry him in a basket (sack, bundle of straw) back to his house, where his wife is entertaining her lover (the priest).
They invite the man with the basket to eat with them. All three sing verses: first the wife, then the lover, then the guest. Often the husband in the basket sings the final verse. He comes out and a brawl ensues [K1556].
