I'm not sure where to post this, Mods please move if needed.

This is a shameless begging post. I'm working on a Twain book (The Gilded Age), and trying to restore passages that are missing from the Gutenberg edition. These are epigrams in various foreign languages.

The one that is kicking me around is a stanza from a poem by Heine, "Angelique" stanza 4. I need to get this fragment in German, but since I don't speak German, and my google-skills are obviously lacking, I have not been successful.

The attached screenshot is a screenshot of the pdf from internet archive, in blackletter font, the cleanest pdf I found (the OCR is utter garbage). If it hadn't been blackletter, I could have transcribed it with no problem.

Please, could some very kind soul who speaks German find me a text of this stanza *in German*? (I already have English translation.) It will win you a gold star, and my eternal gratitude.
