Edition notes: A semi-diplomatic edition, The mensural lines are in some chases analytical and the length of the measures differ so that the main accents come after a mensuralline. N.B. that the SAB marking is the originals partbook names not the acctual voice names.

Original text and translations

German text Die weiber mit den flöhen/ die habn ein steten krieg/ sie geben auß groß löhen/ daß man sie all erschlüg, und ließ ir kein entrinnen/ das wär der weiber sitt/ so hettens rhu beim spinnen/ und in der kirchen fried.

English translation The women with the fleas/ are constantly at war/ they'll give a great reward/ if you could kill them all/ and not let a single one escape/ so that wherever they sitt/ they would have peace, while spinning / and also peace in church.
