Traun! Bogen und Pfeil Sind gut für den Feind, Hülflos alleweil Der Elende weint; Dem Edlen blüht Heil, Wo Sonne nur scheint, Die Felsen sind steil, Doch Glück ist sein Freund.

Ei! Lankas, strėlė Kirst priešą turės, Jam nieks nepadės, Raudot tik galės. Kur saulė tik švies, Kilnumas laimės, Nors uolos ir grės, Sėkmė jį lydės.
