by Alexandre de Lacharme, Père (1695 - 1767)
Translation by Friedrich Rückert (1788 - 1866)

Der Einzige
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Latin 
Der im Lammfell glänzend helle,
mit dem Gurt von Pardelfelle,
der so sanft und ritterlich
seiner Spiele,
seiner Taten freuet sich
Gibt es außer ihm nicht viele?
Ja doch, viele,
aber keinen sonst für mich.

Der im Lammfell glänzend helle,
mit dem Gurt von Pardelfelle,
Mut mit Anmut einet er.
Wo er wand're,
denk' ich hin, o denkt er her?
Gibt es außer ihm nicht and're?
Ja doch, and're;
[was soll mir ein anderer?]1
