Language: German (Deutsch)

"Ja sie ist werth, rief taumelnd und entzückt 
ZAMORI aus, dass sich zu ihren Füssen 
der Himmel neig' und Engel sie begrüssen! 
Wo ist ein Weib mit ihren Reiz geschmückt? 
wo ist ein Mann, wie ich, durch Liebe so beglückt? 
wer kann, wie ich, des Lebens so geniessen? 
Wem Liebe Rosen bringt, die Freundschaft Kränze flicht, 
der ist den Göttern gleich und braucht den Himmel nicht!"

A. Claassen sets lines 7, 8
