Was den Damen gefällt: ein Singspiel

 (Sung text for setting by J. Schulz)
 Matches base text

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Chorus
 Ich habe gar liebliche Sträußchen feil,
 Duftig und frisch, kauft sie in Eil!
 Ich habe gar liebliche Sträußchen feil,
 Duftig und frisch, o kauft in Eil!

Kommt und kauft die Rosen und Nelken,
Eh' die zarten Blüthen welken! 
(Chorus)

Das sind Sinnbilder süßen Gefühls,
Das sind Pfänder gar reizenden Spiels.
Kommt und kauft die Rosen und Nelken,
Eh' die zarten Blüthen welken!
(Chorus)

Wo Blüthen stehen, da brich sie, Geselle,
Ohne Zaudern, ich rathe dir klug,
Denn Blumen und Liebe welken gar schnelle,
Und ihre Zeit schwindet im Flug.
Eilt, und glaubt mir was ich sage,
Sie sind die Zier der jungen Tage! 
(Chorus)
