Crispino, sage doch
wie lange machst du noch dir
ein vergebliches vergnügen,
mich allenthalben zu belügen?
du mußt mir ja dich auszulachen gönnen;
es glauben alle die uns kennen,
nichts übels dir von mir, nicht gutes mir von dir.

Slanderer
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Crispino, tell me then
how long you make still
vain pleasure
to deceive me everywhere?
You must allow me to laugh at you;
all believe we know
nothing evil to you from me, nothing good to me from you.
