[DEATH TO THE POPE:]
[GERMAN]
Her pabst, merkt auf der pfeifen ton,
Ir sullet darnach springen schon,
Es hilft darfür kein dispensieren,
Der tod will euch den tanz hofieren.
[ENGLISH]
Mr. Pope, notice the tone of my kettledrums;
you shall soon dance to them.
You may not get any dispensation;
Death will strike up the dance for you.
[POPE TO DEATH:]
[LATIN]
Sanctus dicebar, nullum vivendo verebar.
Frivole nunc ducor ad mortem, vane reluctor.
[GERMAN]
Ich was ein heiliger pabst genant,
Die weil ich lebt, on forcht bekant.
Nu wird ich gefürt frevelich
Zu dem tod. Ich wer mich üppiglich.
[ENGLISH]
I was called a holy pope.
While I lived I didn't know fear.
Now I'll be outrageously lead
to Death. I defend myself vainly.
