Ah me! Where am I? Whither am I fallen?
375
What hidden woe have I unwarily
Taken beneath my roof? O misery!
Was she unknown, as he that brought her sware?

Sohn, Geliebter, aus dem Mund Unedler auch
Fällt oft ein Rath zum Guten; so sprach dieses Weib,
Zwar eine Magd nur, doch ein hochgesinntes Wort.

375
Unhappy me, what snares enclose me round!
375
Ah, what a secret pest have I received
375
Beneath my roof! This wretch then hath no name,
So he that led her swore, with all these charms,
This beauteous form, and dignity of mien!
