Ich war bei Chloen ganz allein, Und küssen wollt' ich sie. Jedoch sie sprach, sie würde schrein, Es sei vergebne Müh! Ich wagt' es doch und küßte sie, Trotz ihrer Gegenwehr. Und schrie sie nicht? Jawohl, sie schrie -- Doch lange hinterher.

Ζητώ κει που ’ταν μοναχή Της Χλόης το φιλί. Και μ’ απειλεί: Θα βγει κραυγή, Αφού δεν θέλει / θέλ’ αυτή. Το τόλμησα με το φιλί / φιλώντας την, Κι ας βρήκα αντίσταση. Βγήκε κραυγή; Ω ναι, κραυγή. Μα σ’ ώρα πιο στερνή.1
