Schon ja, schon war's nicht, in das Herz
Treuer Weltern mordend das Schwert
Einzutauchen, und es, von Blut
Schwarzgefärbt, zu zeigen dem Strahl der Sonne.
Zwiefache Gottlosigkeit ist die bose That, 1

Thörichter Männer grause Verirrung.
Zitternd in todtlicher Angst,

815
Werth haltend die Gunst des Vaters,
Schmach drntest auf ewig!
Schlußgesang.
