Ich bitte dich, Herrgott, durch Christi Blut, Bewahr mir meinen lieben Liebsten gut! Ich bitte dich, Herrgott, aus Herzensgrund, Dass mich mein Liebster küsst auf meinen Mund! Kniefällig bitt' ich dich, bei meiner Seligkeit, Gib, dass er stirbt, wenn er ein‘ andre freit! Ich bitte dich, Herrgott, durch Christi Blut, Bewahr mir meinen lieben Liebsten gut!
