Ich liebe solche weiße Glieder, Der zarten Seele schlanke Hülle, Wildgroße Augen und die Stirne Umwogt von schwarzer Lockenfülle! Du bist so recht die rechte Sorte, Die ich gesucht in allen Landen; Auch meinen Wert hat euresgleichen So recht zu würdigen verstanden. Du hast an mir den Mann gefunden, Wie du ihn brauchst. Du wirst mich reichlich Beglücken mit Gefühl und Küssen, Und dann verraten, wie gebräuchlich.

J'aime ces membres d'une telle blancheur La svelte enveloppe d'une âme délicate, Ces grands yeux sauvages et ce front Où ondule cette profusion de boucles noires ! Tu es vraiment la véritable espèce Que j'ai cherchée dans tous les pays ; Celles qui sont pareilles à toi Ont aussi bien apprécié mes mérites. Tu as trouvé en moi l'homme Qu'il te faut. Tu me combleras De bonheur avec sentiments et baisers, Et puis tu me trahiras, comme il est d'usage.
