Der Papa
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE ITA
Da kennt so ein Mann nun die halbe Welt
Und weiß nicht, wie man ein Kindchen hält
Und hat von den allernothwendigsten Sachen
Noch gar keine Ahnung -- es ist zum Lachen. --
Und das will nun für den preußischen Staat
Über Frauen und Kinder Gesetze machen!
Confirmed with Anna Ritter, Befreiung. Neue Gedichte, Fünfte Auflage, Stuttgart: J.G. Cotta'sche Buchhandlung Nachfolger, 1900, page 19.

Il Papa
Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)
Ecco che un uomo che conosce solo la metà del mondo,
che ignora come come si tiene un piccolo bimbo,
e che di tutto ciò che è più necessario
non ha la minima idea, ecco - c'è proprio da ridere -
che costui pretende di dettar legge,
nello stato di Prussia, su donne e bambini.
