Apollo, lebet noch dein hold Verlangen, Das an Thessal'scher Flut die blonden Haare In dir entflammt, und ists im Lauf der Jahre Nicht unter in Vergessenheit gegangen: Vor Frost und Nebeln, welche feindlich hangen, So lang' sich uns dein Antlitz birgt, das klare, Jetzt dies geehrte heil'ge Laub bewahre, Wo du zuerst und ich dann ward gefangen. Und durch die Kraft von dem verliebten Hoffen, Das in der Jugend dich nicht ließ vergehen, Laß, von dem Druck [befreyt]1, die Luft erwarmen. So werden wir, [von]2 Staunen froh getroffen, Im Grünen uns're Herrin sitzen [sehen]3, Und sich beschatten mit den eignen Armen.

Apollon, si ton tendre désir vit encore Jailli des flots de Thessalie pour la blonde chevelure Qui t'a enflammé, et dans le cours des années N'est pas tombé dans l'oubli, Du gel et des brumes, qui se tiennent menaçants Aussi longtemps que ton visage brillant se cache de nous, Défends ce feuillage honoré et saint Où d'abord toi et moi ensuite avons été prisonnier. Et par la force de l'espoir de l'amour, Qui t'a soutenu dans ta jeunesse Laisse l'air réchauffer libre de ces impressions. Aussi frappés d'un étonnement joyeux Nous verrons notre maîtresse assise dans la verdure Se faisant de l'ombre de ses bras.
