Notice that the Danish author has added a twist to the story: In both Des dodes dantz and Dodendantz the pope says "God have mercy upon me" in Low German - followed by "Miserere mei deus" - but in the Danish version the (Catholic) pope "forgets" God and prays to Mary and St. Peter instead.
Oui Ohei Eya aauih is some kind of exclamation. If you replace them with "Oh me, oh my, oh me, oh my", you'll retain both rhyme and rhythm.
