bishop, pope and his prelates
Thalers, gold and hoarding treasures
Bragging with pompous speeches
And singing the "Our Father"
Tongues, false and full of venom
Tongues, loud and malign
Tongues worth to rip them out
And call upon fire to burn them
Emperor, King and noblemen
Knights without fear and blame
Hump up, step down
And praying in church like a hypocrite
A lieing and malign tongue
An impudent and poisonous tongue
Worthy to be ripped out, this tongue
And to be burned, this tongue
Guilds, masters and companions
Are measuring with false measure
Should someone get wind of it
They'll creep up to the judge (1)
