Gütigster, Bester! Weisester, Gröster! So lang ich Thränen habe, Und an der Kunst mich labe, Sey beydes Dir geweiht, Der Beydes mir verleiht! So Güt' als Weisheit strömen mild, Von Dir, o Gottes Ebenbild, Engel bist du mir auf Erden; Gern möcht' ich Dir dankbar werden. Unser aller Großpapa, Bleibe noch recht lange da!

El més benèvol, el millor! El més savi, el més gran! Mentre tingui llàgrimes per plorar i trobi reconfort en l’art, que ambdós et siguin dedicats, a tu, que tots dos m’atorgares. Que la bondat i la saviesa brollin benignament de tu, oh imatge de Déu, ets el meu àngel a la terra: de bon grat et vull donar les gràcies. Avi de tots nosaltres, resta aquí per molt de temps encara!
