Merkspruch
Language: German (Deutsch)
Merk dir's in vollster Kraft,
Die man beneidet:
Wer Schönheit schafft,
Der leidet.
Umsonst ward Drang und Lust
Noch nie gegeben.
Du zahlst mit wunder Brust
Für höchstes Leben.
Confirmed with Wilhelm Weigand, In der Frühe, Leipzig und Berlin: Georg Heinrich Meyer Heimatverlag, 1901, page 12. Appears in Im Übergang.

Proverbi remarcable
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
Para esment amb tota la força
als que són envejats:
qui produeix bellesa
pateix.
L’afany i la voluptat ho s’han
donat mai de franc.
Tu pagues amb el cor ferit
per una vida sublim.
