Nun, ihr Musen, genug! Vergebens strebt ihr zu schildern, Wie sich Jammer und Glück wechseln in liebender Brust. Heilen könnet die Wunden ihr nicht, die Amor geschlagen; Aber Linderung kommt einzig, ihr Guten, von euch.

Nu, o Muzen, houd op! Vergeefs probeer je te schild'ren, Hoe verdriet en geluk wiss'len in 't minnende hart. Helen kun je de wonden toch niet, door Amor geslagen, Echter, zieletroost komt enkel, o Goeden, van u.
