by Johann Nikolaus Götz (1721 - 1781)

Daphnens einziger Fehler
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sie hat das Auge, die Hand,
den Mund der schönen Psyche. 
Sie hat den Wuchs, die Göttermiene,
das holde Lächeln der jungen Hebe. 

Sie hat Geschmack und Weltmanieren,
und weiß zu reden,
und weiß zu schweigen. 
O wüßte Daphne nur noch zu lieben!
