Pourquoi leur envier leur juste recompense?
L'amour ne me fait point d'offense 
Quand il rend les amants heureux!  
Il songe a redoubler, par mon impatience, 
Le doux plaisir qui doit suivre mes voeux.

Zartes Lied
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the French (Français) 
Warum beneide ich sie um ihren gerechten Lohn?
Die Liebe ist kein Klagegrund
Macht sie doch die Liebenden glücklich!
Sie denkt, das meine Ungeduld verdoppeln wird
Die süßen Freuden der Erfüllung.
