SARASTRO In diesen heil'gen Hallen Kennt man die Rache nicht, Und ist ein Mensch gefallen, Führt Liebe ihn zur Pflicht. Dann wandelt er an Freundes Hand Vergnügt und froh ins bess're Land. In diesen heil'gen Mauern, Wo Mensch den Menschen liebt, Kann kein Verräter lauern, Weil man dem Feind vergibt. Wen solche Lehren nicht erfreun, Verdienet nicht, ein Mensch zu sein.

SARASTRO In deze heil’ge hallen Wordt niet met wraak gericht, En is een mens gevallen, Leert liefde hem weer plicht. Dan wandelt hij aan vriendenhand Voldaan en blij naar ’t beet’re land. In deze heil’ge tempel, Waar mens de mens liefheeft, Krijgt mensheid goed exempel, De vijand men vergeeft. Wie zulke lering tegenstaat, Verdient niet echt de mensenstaat.
