Ach, håtte bis hierher mich
Der Zeiten uralter Gott 1
Vor der Liebe stets bewahrt!
Was mußt' ich Mutter sein?
Ich hatte nie gefürchtet, solch unsågliches
780
Elend zu schauen, wenn ich floh der Ehe Band.
Nun gewahr' ich's offen klar,
Mein Leid, den Tod, ach! so lieber Kinder.
(Die Leichname der Feldherren werden herbeigetragen.)
