Gewalt der minne
Language: Mittelhochdeutsch 
  Wer gap dir, Minne, den gewalt,
daz dû doch sô gewaltic bist?
  dû twingest beide junc und alt: 
dâ für kan nieman keinen list.
  nû lobe ich got, sit dîniu bant 
mich sulen twingen, deich sô rehte hân erkant,
wâ dienest werdeclîchen lît. 
dâ von enkume ich niemer: gnâde, küniginne, 
lâ mich dir leben mîne zît!
