Hochbeglückt in deiner Liebe Schelt ich nicht Gelegenheit, Ward sie gleich an dir zum Diebe, Wie mich solch ein Raub erfreut! Und wozu denn auch berauben? Gib dich mir aus freier Wahl; Gar zu gerne möcht ich glauben: Ja, ich bin's, die dich bestahl. Was so willig du gegeben, Bringt dir herrlichen Gewinn; Meine Ruh, mein reiches Leben Geb ich freudig, nimm es hin! Scherze nicht! Nichts von Verarmen! Macht uns nicht die Liebe reich? Halt ich dich in meinen Armen, Jedem Glück ist meines gleich.

Comblée par ton amour, Je ne reproche rien à l'occasion, Même si elle a fait de toi un voleur, Comme je me réjouis d'un tel vol ! Et pourquoi faudrait-il voler ? Donne-toi à moi par un choix libre ; Je voudrais bien croire : Oui, c'est moi qui t'ai volé. Ce que tu as donné avec tant de bonne grâce T'apportera un gain magnifique ; Mon repos, ma vie riche, Je les donne volontiers, prends-les ! Ne plaisante pas ! Il n'y a rien de pauvre ! L'amour ne rend-il pas riche ? Quand je te tiens dans mes bras, Mon bonheur est l'égal de tous les autres.
