Fader, låt trummorna spela kinesernas bröllopssång! Friares huvud har rullat. Gåtornas tid var lång. Himmelens son, din dotters ögon var ställda på sned! Tvedräkt i världen såg jag. Tills främlingen gav besked. Kejsare, hör vad han heter, som gissade gåtan och öppnade min famn! Han kom förklädd. Han är en prins. Och kärlek är hans namn.
