Herhaalt mij nu weêrom dat schoone lied, 'n laat geen lieve leise ervan verloren, want op en af uw' lippen loopt er iet, dat in of om den biekorve is geboren! 't Is honing dat gij zingt, en al te zoet, om nòg eenmaal mij niet te zijn geschonken; mij lust hoe meer ik drinke, en drinken moet ik meer, hoe meer ik drinke en heb gedronken.

Noch einmal nun das schöne Lied und laß Nicht einen süßen Runde-Reim Verloren. Dir Lippen auf und nieder Läuft etwas, Das in und um den Bienenkorb Geboren. 's ist Honig, das du singst, und Allzu hold, Um noch einmal mir nicht zu sein Geschenket. Mich lüstet, weil ich trink, und Trinken wollt Ich mehr, je mehr ich trank und bin Getränket.
