Ja freilich, du bist mein Ideal, Habs dir ja oft bekräftigt Mit Küssen und Eiden sonder Zahl; Doch heute bin ich beschäftigt. Komm morgen zwischen zwei und drei, Dann sollen neue Flammen Bewähren meine Schwärmerei; Wir essen nachher zusammen. Wenn ich Billette bekommen kann, Bin ich sogar kapabel, Dich in die Oper zu führen alsdann: Man gibt Robert-le-Diable. Es ist ein großes Zauberstück Voll Teufelslust und Liebe; Von Meyerbeer ist die Musik, Der schlechte Text von Scribe.

Oui, bien-sûr, tu es mon idéal, Je te l'ai même souvent assuré, Avec des baisers et des serments sans nombre ; Mais aujourd'hui je suis occupé. Viens demain, entre deux et trois, Alors de nouvelles flammes devraient Prouver mon enthousiasme ; Ensuite nous mangerons ensemble. Si je peux obtenir des billets, Je suis même capable De t'emmener ensuite à l'opéra : On y donne Robert le Diable. C'est une grande pièce fantastique, Pleine de plaisirs diaboliques et d'amour, La musique est de Meyerbeer, Le mauvais livret, de Scribe.
