Oh quirky and learned Mastodonians, I come before you with a dream.

Oh quirky and learned Mastodonians, I come before you with a dream. Funded by the Canada Counsel for the Arts, I’m researching Friedrich Dulon and Maria Theresia Von Paradis, both 18th century European musicians renowned in their time, and both Blind. I’m looking for info about a German translator and writer of the time, Pfeffel, who was also Blind. I’d love to find some of his fables in English. Dulon met and admired him, and Leopold Kozeluch created a secular cantata for Maria Theresia von Paradis, setting Pfeffel's German text ("Ich war ein kleines Würmchen") to music. If anyone who likes digging and is multi-lingual could uncover this piece of music or his fables in any form accessible to an English speaker, I’d love to be able to incorporate it into story writing, storytelling, or even singing. As a Blind person myself I'm really interested in bringing their work to life for a modern audience, but I'm mono-lingual, and a terrible researcher. Please boost for reach.
