Nun laß uns Frieden schließen, liebstes Leben, Zu lang ist's schon, daß wir in Fehde liegen. Wenn du nicht willst, will ich mich dir ergeben; Wie könnten wir uns auf den Tod bekriegen? Es schließen Frieden Könige und Fürsten, Und sollten Liebende nicht [danach]1 dürsten? Es schließen Frieden Fürsten und Soldaten, Und sollt' es zwei Verliebten wohl mißrathen? Meinst du, daß, was so großen Herrn gelingt, Ein Paar zufriedner Herzen nicht vollbringt?

ועכשו הבה נעשה שלום, אהובתי שלי. עבר זמן ארוך מדי שאנו חיים בריב. אם את לא רוצה, אני אכנע לך. איך יכולנו לריב עד המוות? מלכים ודוכסים עושים שלום, ושני אוהבים לא יהיו צמאים לו? דוכסים וחיילים עושים שלום, ושני אוהבים יפספסים אותו? האם את חושבת שמה שמסתדר אצל הגדולים לזוג אוהבים מאושרים לא יצליח?Authorship:
