So stehn wir, ich und meine Weide, So leider miteinander beide. Nie kann ich ihr was tun zu Liebe, Nie kann sie mir was tun zu Leide. Sie kränket es, wenn ich die Stirn ihr Mit einem Diadem bekleide; Ich danke selbst, wie für ein Lächeln Der Huld, für ihre Zornbescheide.

Zo staan wij, ik en mijn geliefde, Zo hulploos bij elkaar, ontriefden. Nooit kan ik doen wat haar geriefde, Nooit kan zij iets doen wat mij griefde. ‘t Beledigt haar, als ik haar voorhoofd Zelfs met een diadeem wil sieren; Ik dank haar zelfs, als voor een lachje Van gunst, voor haar vertoornde tieren.
