An den Tadler (Amthor, set by G. Telemann) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Du rühmst, nicht ohne Grund,
daß dich ein jeder kennt,
und mancher dir wol gar
besondre Freundschaft gönnt.
Weil Narrenlügenvolk
und faul Schmarotzerpack
die Vögel seiner Art
am liebsten leiden mag:
so wird bei groß und klein
auch deiner oft gedacht,
weil böses Geld von sich
das meiste sprechen macht.
