Kein Hochgewild ich fahen kann,
Das muß ich oft entgelten;
Noch halt ich stets auf Jägers-Bahn,
Wiewohl mir Glück kommt selten:
Mag ich nicht han ein Hochwild schön,
So laß ich mich begnügen,
Am Hasenfleisch, nichts mehr ich weiß,
Das mag mich nicht betrügen.

 ... 

I cannot capture any noble game,
For which I often suffer,
Yet I constantly follow the hunter's paths,
and seldom does luck come to me.
If I am not honored with a noble deer,
Then let me be satisfied
With a hare; nothing more do I demand,
And it will not trouble me.
