Aufs Wohlsein meiner Dame, eine Windfahn' ist ihr Panier, Fortuna ist ihr Name, das Lager ihr Quartier! Und wendet sie sich weiter, ich kümmre mich nicht drum, da draußen ohne Reiter, da geht die Welt so dumm. Statt Pulverblitz und Knattern aus jedem wüsten Haus Gevattern sehn und schnattern alle Lust zum Land hinaus. Fortuna weint vor Ärger, es rinnet Perl' auf Perl'; »Wo ist der Schreckenberger? Das war ein andrer Kerl!« Sie tut den Arm mir reichen, Fama bläst das Geleit, so zu dem Tempel steigen wir der Unsterblichkeit.

Salute alla mia dama, la sua insegna è un segnavento, il suo nome è Fortuna, la sua sede un accampamento E se da un'altra parte si gira, io non mi cruccio per questo; ché senza cavalleria, il mondo è un posto tristo. Invece di bagliori di fuoco e di spari, Fuori da ogni casa in disordine Si spiano i vicini, cianciano le comari, non c'è gioia su questa terra. Piange la Fortuna di rabbia, le lacrime, come perle, scorrono: "Il mio intrepido dove si trova? Lui e tutto un altro uomo!" Essa mi porge il suo braccio, la Fama da compagna le fa, e così ascendiamo al tempio, dell'immortalità.
