Liebesqual verschmäht mein Herz, Sanften Jammer, süßen Schmerz; Nur vom Tücht'gen will ich wissen, Heißem [Äuglen]1, derben Küssen. Sei ein armer Hund erfrischt Von der Lust, mit Pein gemischt! Mädchen, gib der frischen Brust Nichts von Pein und alle Lust.

Mon cœur dédaigne le tourment de l'amour, La douce détresse, l'aimable chagrin ; Je veux connaître seulement la vaillance, Les regards brûlants, les baisers profonds. Qu'un pauvre chien se rafraîchisse En mêlant le plaisir avec le tourment. Filles, donnez à mon coeur frais Rien du tourment et tout du plaisir.
