Faulheit, jetzo will ich dir Auch ein kleines Loblied bringen! -- O!. . . Wie. . . sau -- er. . . wird es mir Dich nach Würde zu besingen! Doch ich will mein Bestes tun: Nach der Arbeit ist gut ruhn. Höchstes Gut, wer dich nur hat, Dessen ungestörtes Leben. . . Ach!. . . ich gähn!. . . ich. . . werde matt. Nun, so magst du mir's vergeben, Daß ich dich nicht singen kann: Du verhinderst mich ja dran.

Laziness, I wish to write for you also a little paean! Oh! ...how ... annoying ... it will be for me to think of how to celebrate your worth! But I will do my best, for after hard work, rest is good. Highest good - whoever possesses you will have an undisturbed life... alas! I'm yawning... I'm ... growing dull. Now you must forgive me if I cannot sing about you: you are hindering me yourself!
