Schaff mich nicht ab, wenn auch den Durst Gelöscht der holde Trunk; Behalt mich noch ein Vierteljahr, Dann hab auch ich genung. Kannst du nicht mehr Geliebte sein, Sei Freundin mir sodann; Hat man die Liebe durchgeliebt, Fängt man die Freundschaft an.

Ne te débarrasse pas de moi, même si ma soif Est étanchée par ton charmant breuvage ; Garde-moi encore un trimestre, Ensuite, moi aussi j'en aurai assez. Si tu ne puis être encore amoureuse, Alors sois mon amie ; Quand on est arrivé au bout de l'amour, Commence alors l'amitié.
