"[Herz]1, was ist dir?" "Ich bin verliebt, das ist mir." "Wie ist dir denn zumut'?" "Ich brenn' in Höllenglut." "Erquicket dich kein Schlummer?" "Den litte Qual und Kummer?" "Gelingt kein Widerstand?" "Wie doch bei solchem Brand?" "Ich hoffe, Zeit wird's wenden." "Es wird's der Tod nur enden." "Was gäbst du, sie zu sehn?" "Mich, dich, Welt, Himmelshöh'n." "Du redest ohne Sinn." "Weil ich in Liebe bin." "Du mußt vernünftig sein." "Das heißt, so kalt wie Stein." "Du wirst zugrunde gehen!" "Ach, möcht' es bald geschehen!"
