Original Text

Freue dich des Weibes deiner Jugend.

Sie ist lieblich wie eine Hinde
und holdselig wie ein Rehe;
Laß dich ihre Liebe allezeit sätigen
und ergetze dich alleweg in ihrer Liebe.

English Translation

Rejoice with the wife of your youth.

She is as lovely as the deer,
and as charming as the fawn;
let her love satisfy you at all times;
and always be ravished with her love.


This piece was performed by the SFBC in Schütz, Schein, & Scheidt: Three Great Early Kapellmeisters on October 29, 1995.
