Verse II

The highest fulfillment on earth,
that of being the love of your life,
is such great happiness
as I do not presume to,
for my merit and my good fortune are too small for that.
That I, amongst thousands, amongst us all,
were to presume to take pleasure
in being pleasing to you as nobody else is --
I do not demand as much.


Verse III

It contents me to be granted the privilege
ever to be entirely yours,
that you should take notice of me and believe me.
I am content that my playful joking draws a smile from you,
that your beautiful heart, smiling, bestows your trust upon me.
