¶Liedtext

In the rose's fragrant shade, Sipping sweets, a bee was laid; Little Love, who wanton'd round, On his finger felt a wound. Scar'd and pain'd, he sobs and sighs, And to heav'nly Venus flies: "I faint, I die, Oh! succour lend, Or thy Cupid's at an end, Pierc'd by a serpent, hapless me, Which the ploughman call a bee, Small he was, and bearing wings; To the very heart he stings". "This the mischief you deplore", Venus cried, "and how much more Must the wretched bosoms prove, Tortur'd with the stings of love".
