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.

Nyt riittää, muusat! Turhaan te yritätte...

Language: Finnish (Suomi) after the German (Deutsch)

Nyt riittää, muusat! Turhaan te yritätte selitellä,
miten valitus ja onni vaihtelevat rakastavassa rinnassa.
Ettehän te kuitenkaan pysty parantamaan Amorin lyömiä haavoja;
joskin tuskan lievitys voi tulla vain teidän hyvyytenne kautta.
