Philint stand jüngst vor Babets Thür
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  DUT FRE ITA
Philint stand jüngst vor Babets Thür
Und klopft', und rief: Ist niemand hier?
Ich bin Philint! Laßt mich hinein! --
Sie kam, und sprach: Nein, nein!

Er seufzt', er bat recht jämmerlich.
Nein! sagte sie, ich fürchte dich;
Es ist schon Nacht, ich bin allein:
Philint, es kann nicht sein!

Bekümmert wollt' er wieder gehn:
Da hört' er schnell den Schlüssel drehn:
Er hört: Auf einen Augenblick!
Doch geh' auch gleich zurück!

Die Nachbarn plagt die Neugier sehr:
Sie warteten der Wiederkehr;
Er kam auch, doch erst Morgens früh.
Ey, ey! wie lachten sie!
