Her keyser euch hilft nicht das swert |
Mr. Emperor, the sword doesn't help you; Sceptre and crown has no value here. I have taken you by the hand; you must come into my dance. |
Ich kunde das reich yn hoer eren |
Held in high honour, I was able with struggle and fight to increase the empire well. Now, Death has defeated me, so that I am neither like emperor nor human being. |
