"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

He to whom love brings roses
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
"Yes, she is worthy,["] ZAMORI, reeling and enraptured,
called out, ["]that at her feet
heaven bows down and angels greet her!
Where is a women adorned with her allurement?
where is a man, made thus happy through love, as I am?
who can, as I, enjoy life so much?
He to whom love brings roses, friendship twines wreaths,
he is like the gods and has no need of heaven!"
