Ich schrieb allzeit nur wenig,
Doch allzeit tugendhaft,
Und hab die Kleinode verzeichnet,
Die sich der Burgschatz beschafft.

Ich schreib' in meine Register
Mit der Aufschrift: Paula - heut ein:
Der Wartburg ist erworben
Ein neuer Edelstein.

Confirmed with "Der Brautwillkomm auf Wartburg", Fünf Dichtungen von Joseph Viktor von Scheffel, Stuttgart: Verlag von Adolf Bonz & Comp., 1887, page 33.
