Witness, ye heavens, the palace of the gods;
Witness, ye heavens, the palace of the gods;
Witness, ye gods, which hold your seats therein;
Witness, ye gods, which hold your seats therein;

Witness, fond love, and all that love can win.
Witness, fond love, and all that love can win.
Witness the air, fire, water, earth and all,
Witness the air, fire, water, earth and all,
How I have lived a vassal at thy call.
How I have lived a vassal at thy call.}}

Witness, ye heavens, the palace of the gods;
Witness, ye gods, which hold your seats therein;
Witness hell furies, with revengeful rods;
