[DEATH TO THE JUROR:]
[GERMAN]
Die urteil ist also gegeben,
Das ir lenger nit solt leben,
Her jurist, das tut des todes kraft,
Müget ir, so beweist eure meisterschaft
[ENGLISH]
The sentence is given thus
that you shall not live any longer,
Mr. Juror, such does the power of Death.
If you can, then prove your mastery.
[JUROR TO DEATH:]
[LATIN]
Non iuvat appello de mortis ultimo bello;
Succumbunt iura legesque sub ista figura.
[GERMAN]
Es hilft kein appellieren nit
Von des todes letzstem strit.
Er überwint mit seinem Geschlecht
Das weltlich und das geistlich recht.
[ENGLISH]
No appealing helps
against Death's last dispute.
He defeats - with his kin -
the worldly and the ecclesiastical law.
