Von edler Art, Auch rein und zart, Bist du ein Kron, Der ich mich han Ergeben gar, Glaub mir fürwahr; Das Herz in mir Kränkt sich nach dir, Darum ich b'gehr Auf all dein Ehr: Hilf mir, ich hab nicht Trostes mehr. Wie ich ihm tu, Hab ich kein Ruh, Ohn dein Gestalt, Die mich mit G'walt Gefangen hat: Herzlieb gib Rat, Des ich mich doch Zu dir versieh In Hoffnung viel, Nit mehr ich will, Allein setz mir ein gnädigs Ziel. Seit du die bist, gen der ich List nit brauchen soll, das weisst du wohl: ohn allen Scherz will dir mein Herz in Treuen sein, darum ich dein kein Stund im Tag vor Leid und Klag, auch rechter Lieb vergessen mag.

De noble natura, i també pura i tendra, tu ets una corona a la que enterament m’he lliurat, en veritat, creu-me; el cor a dintre meu es llangueix per a tu, per això et suplico, per tot el meu honor: ajuda’m, no tinc cap més conhort. Faci el que faci, no tinc cap repòs, sense la teva persona que, amb violència, m’ha empresonat: estimada del cor, aconsella’m, com em puc dotar per tu de grans esperances, no desitjo res més, indica’m tan sols una meta propícia. Puix que tu ets l’única a la que no em cal fer cap astúcia, això ho saps prou bé: sense cap plagasitat el meu cor et vol restar fidel, i així durant cap hora del dia, en la pena i el plany, no oblidaré el meu amor veritable.
