The original novel by Goethe (Die Leiden des jungen Werthers) was quasi-autobiographical, Charlotte being Charlotte Buff with whom the young poet was passionately in love.
Thankfully Goethe himself did not take the final suicidal act of his protagonist here,
but he regretted having written the piece, which became very popular
and inspired a whole series of desperate romantics.
However, Thackeray's reaction to all this was more of a parody!

This is my setting and German translation of W M Thackeray's poem


In Charlott' verliebt sich Werther
  Unaussprechlich Liebe loht
Und weisst du wie er ihr begegnet ist?
  Sie bestrich mit Butter Brot!
 
Unsre Lotte war nicht ledig
  Werthers Wege war'n die graden
Und um allen Schatz aus Indien
  Wollt' er ihr mitnichten schaden
 
Also musst'er nach ihr schmachten
  Da die Inbrunst an ihm nagte
Er schoss sich in den blöden Kopf
  damit es ihn nicht mehr plagte
 
Als Charlotte sah den Helden
  statt vorm Leichnam zu erbleichen
Wie eine wohlerzogene
  Fuhr sie fort, Brot zu bestreichen!
