Original text and translations

English text Poor is the life that misses the lover's greatest treasure, innumerable kisses, which end in endless pleasure. O, then, if this be so, shall I a virgin die? Fie, no, no, no!

German translation Wie armselig ist das Leben ohne der Liebenden größter Schatz, die unzähligen Küsse die in endlosem Vergnügen enden. Alsdann, wenn es so ist, soll ich als Jungfer sterben? Oh nein!
