-Happy is he who looks upon you,
-happier he who sighs for you;
-but happiest of all is he
-who, by sighing, makes you sigh.
-A friendly star must have looked kindly upon him
-who, thanks to such a beautiful lady,
-can at the same time satisfy
-both the eye and his desire
-and can say without fear of contradiction:
-'That heart belongs to me.'
