"[Herz]1, was ist dir?" "Ich bin verliebt, das ist mir." "Wie ist dir denn zumut'?" "Ich brenn' in Höllenglut." "Erquicket dich kein Schlummer?" "Den litte Qual und Kummer?" "Gelingt kein Widerstand?" "Wie doch bei solchem Brand?" "Ich hoffe, Zeit wird's wenden." "Es wird's der Tod nur enden." "Was gäbst du, sie zu sehn?" "Mich, dich, Welt, Himmelshöh'n." "Du redest ohne Sinn." "Weil ich in Liebe bin." "Du mußt vernünftig sein." "Das heißt, so kalt wie Stein." "Du wirst zugrunde gehen!" "Ach, möcht' es bald geschehen!"

Mon cher cœur, qu'est-ce qui ne va pas ? Je suis amoureux, c'est ce qui ne va pas. Comment te sens-tu ? Je brûle d'un feu infernal. Le sommeil ne te rafraîchit pas ? Il endure le tourment et le chagrin. Résister ne marche pas ? Comment cela se pourrait avec un tel feu ? J'espère que le temps y mettra fin. Cela finira seulement par la mort. Que donnerais-tu pour la voir ? Moi, toi, le monde, les hauteurs du ciel. Ce que tu dis n'a aucun sens. Parce que je suis amoureux. Tu dois être raisonnable. C'est-à-dire aussi froid que la pierre. Tu vas en mourir ! Ah, si cela pouvait arriver bientôt !
