Bitteres zu sagen denkst du; Aber nun und nimmer kränkst du, Ob du noch so böse bist. Deine herben Redetaten Scheitern an korallner Klippe, Werden all zu reinen Gnaden, Denn sie müssen, um zu schaden, Schiffen über eine Lippe, Die die Süße selber ist.

Tu crois dire des paroles acerbes ; Mais tu ne seras jamais blessante Même si tu es fâchée. Tes paroles acides Se brisent sur des falaises de corail, Et deviennent de pures gracieusetés, Car pour faire mal, Elles doivent naviguer sur une lèvre Qui est la douceur même.
