by August Heinrich Julius Lafontaine (1758 - 1831)
Translation

Lied in Scala von D bis b und wieder zurück
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Männchen, was bewachst du meine Blicke,
warum schaust du mich so forschend an?
wenn ich spinne, nähe, oder stricke,
hemme länger nicht dein eigen Glücke,
werde wieder ein vernünft'ger Mann.

Glaube mir, du wärest doch verloren,
gäb' ich fremder Liebe mich zum Raub,
hät'st du tausend Augen, tausend Ohren,
Amor macht dich, Lieber, blind und Taub.
