Simon Nun zeiget das entblößte Feld der ungebet'nen Gäste Zahl, die an den Halmen Nahrung fand und irrend jetzt sie weiter sucht. Des kleines Raubes klaget nicht der Landmann, der ihn kaum bemerkt; dem Übermaße wünscht er doch nicht ausgestellt zu sein. Was ihn dagegen sichern mag, sieht er als Wohltat an, und willig fröhnt er dann zur Jagd, die seinen guten Herrn ergötzt.

Simone Ora il campo spoglio rivela la quantità di ospiti non invitati, che fra le spighe trovano cibo andando in cerca di qua e di là. Del piccolo furto non si lagna il contadino, che appena lo nota; il suo desiderio è solamente non essere esposto a un furto più grande. Tutto ciò che può rassicurarlo lo considera ben fatto: e si rallegra per la caccia, che rende lieto il suo buon signore.
