Death to the peddler

    Zuem Krämer.

Hast vill wahr seindt schöne sachen,
ich nimb sie dir, was wilst du machen,
den leythen muest doch wollfeil geben,
komb mit mir, was wilst mer leben?

    To the peddler.

You have a lot of goods - beautiful things.
I'll take them from you, what will you do about this?
After all you must give it to people cheaply.
Come with me, what more do you want to live for?

The peddler

    Antwort.

Meine Waren will ich Dir gern lassen;
Laß mich nur gehen auf den Straßen.
Will gerne wieder andere kaufen.
Ach, laß mich nur noch wenig laufen!

    Answer.

I will gladly leave my goods to you;
Just let me walk on the streets.
I will gladly buy other goods again.
Alas, just let me travel a little longer!

The image of Death and the peddler is a faithful copy of the same scene in Basel.
