Original text

Original Wiobian	English
ei! jån' kähne Jündemruoger snirre ure nungnung Troh; Sioner röbes ƕieme Puoger', ind' enwülze Þafte quoh'. ei! lind mause bückne mungel, Wiote-Wuzes duoɟ niens Kliten', ionem' ƕind Benußes zungel; Kuobs mes pepen, Ƕeiges miten.	O how quickly the sculpture of life Shatters into tiny little fragments! The splendor of the king on his throne Is completely swept away by sea-waves. Ye who have come hither stationed here, By Heaven's grace ye are guests, Just like us, ye act in order to be judged; Therefore let us be generous to the pauper, and give to our neighbor.

O Heaven, Who grantest us strength and triumph from far above, We wait upon Thee with longing. Thus now, O Lord, we entreat Thee: Give us the means So that we death unfearing May break down those wooden idols.
