"Come! to my chamber let us go;<br />

Our love shall be secret there.<br />

And thy gloomy thoughts shall vanish at sight<br />

Of my lily-white body fair."<br />

"Dame Venus, loveliest of dames.<br />

Immortal thy charms remain.<br />

As many have loved thee ere to-day.<br />

So many shall love again.<br />

"But when I think of the heroes and gods.<br />

Who feasted long ago.<br />

Upon thy lily-white body fair.<br />

Then sad at heart I grow.<br />

"Thy lily-white body filleth me<br />

With loathing, for I see<br />

How many more in years to come<br />

Shall enjoy thee, after me."<br />

"My noble knight, my Tannhauser,<br />

Such words thou should'st not say.<br />

Far liefer had I thou dealt'st me a blow,<br />

As often ere this day.<br />
