Selig, wer in besonnener
Scheu mit Mäßigung deine Lust
Kostet, göttliche Kypris!
Ruhig fließt sein Leben dahin,
Nimmer getrübt von stürmender Wuth.

Der goldlockige Liebesgott
Hålt zwei Bogen der Huld gespannt;
Einer bringt ein seliges Loos,
Der zertrümmert des Lebens Glück.
Diesen, reizende Kypria,
545
Halte fern von unserm Gemach!
Mir sei bescheidener Liebreiz
Gegönnt und heilige Lust,
Auch Aphrodita's keuscher Genuß;
Doch unmäßigen hass ich.
