Original text and translations

German text  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.

English translation  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.
