Ich bin auf allen Wegen Gefahren durch's deutsche Land, Vor Straßburg bin ich gelegen, Den Wälschen bin ich bekannt. Und ward doch in allen Zeiten Und Landen Keiner gewahr, Die sich mit dir dürft' streiten Um Wänglein, Aug' und Haar. Was wollt' ich nicht Alles wagen Um solche Beute gern -- Auf Handen möcht' ich dich tragen . . . Zu Frundsberg, meinem Herrn.

I travelled on all the roads Through the German land, I camped outside of Strasbourg, I am known to the Italians. And yet at no time and in no land Did I come across a woman Who could compete with you In terms of cheeks, eyes, and hair. What would I not dare Gladly for such a booty -- I would like to carry you in my hands . . . To Frundberg, my lord.
