Rose: Bin ein armes Waisenkind, Dem seine Lieb'n gestorben sind. Martha: Habt Ihr ein Zeugnis, einen Schein. Dass man euch auch trauen mag? Rose: Ach nein! Wenn Euch mein Bitten nicht bewegt- Martha: Das Mitleid saure Fruchte trägt, Hat man im Haus erst Euresgleichen, Pflegt Ruh' und Frieden d'raus zu weichen Geh' du nur fort! Rose: O nehmet auf mich mildgesinnt, Ich will Euch lohnen, was Ihr tut An mir, mit meinem Herzensblut. Martha: Versprechen lasst sich viel mit Worten, Geht, pocht dort an des Nachbars Pforten! Geht fort!

La rose : Je suis une pauvre orpheline, Dont les parents bien-aimés sont morts. Martha : As-tu une attestation, un certificat Pour qu'on puisse te croire ? La rose : Oh non ! Si ma demande ne vous émeut pas - Martha : La pitié apporte des fruits amers. Si on en a une comme toi dans la maison La paix et le repos ont coutume de s'éloigner. Allez, va-t'en ! La rose : Oh, prenez-moi gentiment, Je vous récompenserai de ce que ferez Pour moi, avec le sang de mon cœur. Martha : Promettre est très facile avec des mots, Va, frappe là-bas à la porte du voisin ! Va-t'en !
