German:
Herr Jesu Christ, ich weis gar wol,
das ich ein mahl mus sterben :
Wenn aber das geschehen sol
und wie ich werd verderben
Dem Leibe nach, das weis ich nicht
es steht allein in deim Gericht,
du siehst mein letztes ende.
--Bartholomäus Ringwaldt, 1530-1599
English:
Lord Jesus Christ, I know full well,
that I a Meal must kill- [i.e. the Eucharist]
When it but shall to come to pass
and as I will be ruined
The Life after, that I know not
it stands alone in Thy Judgement
Thou seest my final Ending.
--tr. Russell Davis
