Die Liebste sprach: 'Ich halt dich nicht,
Du hast mir nichts geschworn.
Die Menschen soll man halten nicht,
Sind nicht zur Treu geborn.

Zieh deine Straßen hin, mein Freund,
Beschau dir Land um Land,
In vielen Betten ruh dich aus,
Viel Frauen nimm bei der Hand.

Wo dir der Wein zu sauer ist,
Da trink du Malvasier,
Und wenn mein Mund dir süßer ist,
So komm nur wieder zu mir !'
