weh, weh! Der Menschen sonst keiner nimmt
Auf sich diese Schuld, es ist meine Schuld.
Denn ich war es nur, ich Elender gab,
Ia ich, dir den Tod! O kommt, Diener, kommt,
Führt mich geschwind hinweg, führt mich von hinnen fort!

Denn nichts Andres bin ich mehr, als ein Nichts.

My royal lord, what dreadful ills are thine!
There in thy hands thou bearest; in thy house

Thou hast brought death to one already dead.....
