Apollo, lebet noch dein hold Verlangen,
Das an Thessal'scher Flut die blonden Haare
In dir entflammt, und ists im Lauf der Jahre
Nicht unter in Vergessenheit gegangen:

Vor Frost und Nebeln, welche feindlich hangen,
So lang' sich uns dein Antlitz birgt, das klare,
Jetzt dies geehrte heil'ge Laub bewahre,
Wo du zuerst und ich dann ward gefangen.

Und durch die Kraft von dem verliebten Hoffen,
Das in der Jugend dich nicht ließ vergehen,
Laß, von dem Druck [befreyt]1, die Luft erwarmen.

So werden wir, [von]2 Staunen froh getroffen,
Im Grünen uns're Herrin sitzen [sehen]3,
Und sich beschatten mit den eignen Armen.

Sonnet I
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Apollo, leeft het nog jouw mooi verlangen,
Ooit aan Thessalië's stroom door blonde haren
In jou ontvlamd1, en is het door de jaren
Niet langzaam door vergetelheid vervangen?

Voor vorst en nevels die maar blijven hangen,
Zolang wij niet jouw aanschijn zien, het klare,
Wil dan dit goede, heil'ge loof2 bewaren
Waardoor jij eerst, en toen ik werd gevangen.

En door de kracht van het verliefde hopen,
Dat in je jeugd je niet liet ondergaan,
Laat, van de druk bevrijd, de lucht verwarmen.

Dan zullen wij, verwonderd toegelopen,
In 't groene onze vrouwe gadeslaan,
Schaduw zich gevend met haar eigen armen.

1 Apollo was, nadat hij geraakt was door een goudgepunte pijl van Cupido (Gr. Eros), hevig verliefd geraakt op de Thessalische nimf Daphne, die, getroffen door een loodgepunte pijl van dezelfde god, juist van de liefde afkerig was geworden. Toen zij wegrennend dreigde door Apollo overweldigd te worden, smeekte zij haar vader haar te redden. Deze veranderde haar in een laurierboom, die door Apollo in wanhoop omhelsd en gekust werd. Het verhaal is beschreven door Ovidius (Metamorphoses I. 452-567)
2 "Daphne werd veranderd in een laurier en de laurier is het symbool van Laura, dus stemmen Apollo's liefde en die van de dichter overeen." (Peter Verstegen in Francesco Petrarca, Het Liedboek)
