by Walther von der Vogelweide (1170? - 1228?)

Hêr babest
Language: Mittelhochdeutsch 
Hêr babest ich mac wol genesen
wan ich wil in gehorsam wesen.
wir horten iuch der Kristenheit gebieten,

wes wir dem Keiser solten pflegen,
do is im gabet gotes segen:
daz wir in hiezen her und vor im knieten.

Ouch sult is nikt vergezzen,
Ir sprachet: swer dich segne, 
der si gesegnet; 
swer dir fluche, 
si verfluochet,

Mit fluoche volmezzen.
durch got bedenket iuch dabi,
ob ir der pfaffen ere iht geruochet.
