FALK.
Ja, det er sandt; jeg havde ganske glemt,
du var til noget højere bestemt.
Som elskovs friprest står du midlertidigt;
sent eller tidligt skal der avanceres;
men det er selv mod skik og vedtægt stridigt,
om allerede nu du ordineres.
FALK.
Yes, it is true; it had escaped my mind,
You for a higher office were designed,
Love as his young licentiate has retained you;
Shortly you’ll get a permanent position;
But it would be defying all tradition
If at the present moment he ordained you.
