Crispino, sage doch
wie lange machst du noch dir
ein vergebliches vergnügen,
mich allenthalben zu belügen?
du mußt mir ja dich auszulachen gönnen;
es glauben alle die uns kennen,
nichts übels dir von mir, nicht gutes mir von dir.

Slanderer

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Chosen for Diff

Crispino, tell me then 
how long you make still 
vain pleasure 
to deceive me everywhere? 
You must allow me to laugh at you; 
all believe we know 
nothing evil to you from me, nothing good to me from you.
