 Schön bin ich nit mein höchster hort/
 laß mich das nit entgelten/
 lieb geht für schön an manchem ort/
 das thu ich jetz und melden/
 lieb uberwindt manch freunlichs kind/
 thut nach der schön nit fragen/
 lieb bringt groß frewd in kurtzer zeit,
 bringt auch offt grosses klagen.

 I am not beautiful, my most beloved,
but do not count this against me.
Love counts as beauty in many places.
And I love an tell you this:
Love overcomes many faults
so do not ask for beauty.
Love brings great joy in a short time
and brings also often great complaint.
