When I am laid in earth, may my wrongs create
No trouble in thy breast!
Remember me – but ah! forget my fate.[2]

Germany

Wenn Musik der Liebe Nahrung ist,
Sing weiter, bis ich mit Freude erfüllt bin;
Denn dann rührst du meine lauschende Seele
Zu nie versiegenden Genüssen:
Deine Augen, dein Mienenspiel, deine Zunge verkünden,
Dass du überall Musik bist.

Genüsse dringen in Aug und Ohr;
So heftig sind die Empfindungen, dass sie verwunden;
Und alle meine Sinne sind ergötzt,
Und doch ist der Genuss nur Schall:
Sicher muss ich durch deine Reize sterben;
Rettest du mich nicht in deinen Armen.[3]
