Wie die Wellenschaumgeborene Strahlt mein Lieb im Schönheitsglanz, Denn sie ist das auserkorene Bräutchen eines fremden Manns. Herz, mein Herz, du vielgeduldiges, Grolle nicht ob dem Verrat; Trag es, trag es, und entschuldig es, Was die holde Törin tat.

Radiant as the foam-born Venus, Gleams my love in beauty's pride, For a strange man, come between us, Claims her as his chosen bride Heart, my heart, thou much enduring, Murmur not at Fate's decree; Bear it, pardon what's past curing-- What, sweet fool, she has done to thee.
