I know your station well, which is not inferior
Hugo Wolf
I know your station well, which is not inferior.
You need not descend so low
To love such a poor and humble thing,
Since the fairest of them all bow down before you.
You easily conquer the most handsome men,
Therefore I know you only make fun of me.
You mock me, as they have tried to warn me,
But ah- you're so handsome! Who can be cross with you?
