Die Schleppe will ich dir tragen, Ich will deinem Dienst mich weihn, An Festen und hohen Tagen Sollst du meine Kön'gin sein! Deiner Launen geheimste, kühnste Gehorsam erfüll ich dir; Doch leid ich in diesem Dienste Keinen andern neben mir. Solang ich dir diene in Ehren, Gehöret dein Lächeln mein; Deinen Hofstaat will ich vermehren; Doch der Erste will ich sein.

I wish to carry your train, I wish to dedicate myself to your service, At festivals and holidays You shall be my queen! The most most secret, most audacious of your whims I shall obediently fulfill; But I shall not tolerate anyone Besides me to be in your service. As long as I serve you in honour, Your smiles belong to me; I wish to enlarge your court; But I wish to be its primary member.
