Original text and translations

German text 5  Wie ein Rubin in feinem Golde leuchtet, also zieret ein Gesang das Mahl. 6  Wie ein Smaragd in schönem Golde stehet, also zieren die Lieder beim guten Weine.

English translation 5  As a ruby ​​glows in its gold setting, so does singing adorn a meal. 6  As an emerald stands in beautiful gold, so does song adorn fine wine. Translation by James Gibb
