Her keyser euch hilft nicht das swert Czeptir vnd crone sint hy nicht wert Ich habe euch bey der hand genomen Ir must an meynen reyen komen |
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 Mit streyt vnd fechten wol gemeren Nw hat der tod obirwunden mich Daz ich byn wedir keyser noch menschen gleich |
I could honour the empire highly, increase it well with struggle and fight. Now, Death has defeated me, so that I am neither like emperor nor human being. |
