Gewohnt, gethan
 (Sung text for setting by A. Weyrauch)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
    Ich habe geliebet, nun lieb' ich erst recht!
Erst war ich der Diener, nun bin ich der Knecht.
Erst war ich der Diener von allen;
Nun fesselt mich diese scharmante Person,
Sie tut mir auch alles zur Liebe, zum Lohn,
Sie kann nur allein mir gefallen.
