O Wein, zerstreue uns're Sorgen
Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)
HAMLET. O Wein, zerstreue uns're Sorgen, Und erfrische das Herz! Wer denket heute wohl an morgen, Statt an fröhlichen Scherz! Allerwärts Muß dir gehorchen, Wem seine Sorgen Bedrücken das Herz. HORATIO UND MARCELLUS. Er sucht zu vergessen die Sorgen. HAMLET. Wer hätt' gefunden Was hier ihm fehlt? Bald sind gezählt Die glücklichen Stunden! Ein Jeder fast Trägt seine Last Auf dieser Erden; Möcht's anders werden! Weiche fort, Trübe Ahnung. Weisheit liegt im Narrenwort! O Wein etc.
