Erhabner! Erhabner! Verehrter Freund der Jugend! Zu deines Festes Feyer Deiner Weisheit, deiner Tugend Nimm unsrer Herzen Huldigung. Ja, wenn der Waisen Bitten frommen, Die heut' für dich zum Himmel glühn, Muß oft der frohe Tag noch kommen, Lang deines Lebens Freuden blühn. Germanien, in fernen Zonen Nennen Waisen Vater dich, Dein Haupt umglänzen Bürgerkronen, Und gute Fürsten lieben dich. Ein Hochgefühl und reine Freude Hält immer uns mit dir vereint, Ein lorbeerreicher Nestor scheide Einst spät von uns und allbeweint.

Éminence ! Éminence ! Cher ami de la jeunesse ! Pour la célébration de ta fête de ta sagesse, ta vertu Accepte l'hommage de nos cœurs. Oui, si les prières des orphelins sont satisfaites, Ces prières qui aujourd'hui brûlent pour toi jusqu'au ciel, Souvent ce jour heureux reviendra. Que les joies de ta vie fleurissent longtemps. Les Germains, dans les régions éloignées, T'appellent le père des orphelins, Ta tête est couronnée ceinte de couronnes civiles, Et les bons princes t'aiment. Qu'un noble sentiment et une joie pure Toujours nous gardent unis avec toi. Que ce Nestor, couronné de lauriers, nous quitte Le plus tard possible et pleuré par tous.
