31. Der verkappte Heilige. Dass dein Glück uns nicht bedrücke, Legst du um dich Teufelstücke, Teufelswitz und Teufelskleid. Doch umsonst! Aus deinem Blicke Blickt hervor die Heiligkeit!

31. The Saint in Disguise.

Lest your happiness oppress us,
You wrap yourself in devilry,
Devilish wit and devil’s garb.
Yet in vain! From out your gaze
Holiness gazes forth!

31. Le saint déguisé. Afin que ton bonheur ne nous accable pas, Tu t’entoures de diableries, D’esprit diabolique et d’un habit de diable. Mais en vain ! De ton regard La sainteté regarde au-dehors !
