Schrieb die schöne Adelheid: "Daß ich Euer Liebesleid süß zu stillen mag geruh'n, habt ihr folgendes noch zu tun: Wenn die Abendwinde wehn, müßt Ihr heut um sieben stehn, unter meinem Fensterlein, aber nur auf einem Bein!" Das Unglaubliche geschah! Um punkt sieben stand er da! Ganz allein auf einem Bein, stand er da im Mondenschein! Lache keiner, der dies hört, Lieb' hat jeden schon betört, jedem schlägt sein Stündlein fein, da er tanzt auf einem Bein!
