Die zu späte Ankunft der Mutter
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  DUT ITA
Beschattet von blühenden Ästen,
Gekühlet von spielenden Westen,
Lag Rosilis am Bache hier
Und Hylas neben ihr.

Sie sangen sich scherzende Lieder,
Sie warf ihn mit Blumen, er wieder;
Sie neckte ihn, er neckte sie,
Wer weiss wie lang’ und wie.

Von Lenz und von Liebe gerühret,
Ward Hylas zum Küssen verführet.
Er küßte sie, er drückte sie,
Daß sie um Hilfe schrie.

Die Mutter kam eilend und fragte,
Was Hylas für Frevel hier wagte?
Die Tochter rief: es ist geschehn,
Ihr könnt nun wieder gehn.

La mamma arriva troppo tardi
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch) 
All'ombra di rami fioriti
rinfrescata da Zefiri giocosi
stava, Rosilis, al ruscello
E Hylas le stava accanto.






Eccitato dall'amore e dalla primavera
Hylas a baciarla fu spinto.
La baciò, e la abbracciò stretta,
ma lei chiese aiuto gridando.

Poi accorse la mamma e chiese:
in cosa Hylas ti ha offeso?
La figlia rispose: è successo
ormai te ne puoi tornare indietro.
