Die kleyn fürstlich chronica, Soldier

Hettstu mein gwissen schutz bedracht,
   Hetts nit so vil armer leut gemacht.
Hie hilfft kein Hammer Hellenbart.
   Den schutz hab ich auff dich gespart.

Had you considered my inevitable shot,
   you would not have made so many people poor.
Hammer and halberd don't help here.
   I have saved this shot for you.
