Der doit. |
Death Mr. Nobleman, forward, we(1) must dance, court(2) and strut courtly. Come at once, I cannot wait. I will lead you to the dance. You must now leave your lovely court and the lovely streets of the city. Well then, to the dance. Now it is time that you answer Gud for your works. |
Der iunckher |
The nobleman, |
Footnotes: (1) (2)
In the 1520-edition it says »jr müeßt danntzen«.
The point here is that "to court" originally meant to act as at the (royal) court. The words »hofyeren« and »houelichen« point forward to the »hoiff« that the nobleman is told in line five that he must abandon.
