was gschehen ist unnd hört es noch&#13;
in diser Weltjetzunder:&#13;
Man sagt von widerwärtigkeit&#13;
in allen Landen weyt und breyt&#13;
in Teuschenland besunder. &#13;
&#13;
Auff Wucher Gentz Hoffarth Finantz&#13;
thursich schier ein jeder besleissen&#13;
es tracht nun nach dem Zeitlichen gantz&#13;
der Arm mit dem Reichen&#13;
darauß erfolgt offt jammer und Noth&#13;
Schmerzen Elend unn groß Rummer &#13;
leztlich der bitter Todt. &#13;
&#13;
Hört weitter zu ihr Menschen Kindt&#13;
schlagt dise Geschicht nicht in Mind&#13;
so newlich ist geschehen:&#13;
Im Niderland gantz wol bekandt &#13;
ein Kloster zu S. Cathrinen gnant&#13;
thu ich mit Warheith jehen. &#13;
&#13;
Ein Schaffner allda wohnen thät&#13;
der hat mit seiner Frawen&#13;
vie kleine Kinder an der Stät&#13;
weytter sing ich ohn nawren&#13;
sie lebten in Frewd und Wollust groß&#13;
sechs gantzer Jar merckt eben&#13;
letzlich entstund groß Angst unnd Noth.&#13;
&#13;
Das Kloster ein grossen Eingang hat&#13;
von Wein und Korn wol an statt&#13;
Von Zinz unn Stewr dergleichen:&#13;
Das kam dem Schaffner zu guren theyl&#13;
die sechs Jar versucht er selu heyl&#13;
unn wurd an gut sehr reiche.&#13;
&#13;
Den armen Leuten in der not&#13;
thät er das jr abbrechen&#13;
den Arbeiternauch das täglich brot&#13;
letztlich thäts Gott an im rechen&#13;
das drauß erfolgt groß herzenleid&#13;
an im und seinen Kindern&#13;
deßgeischen an dem Weib. &#13;
&#13;
Nun muß ich jetzund zeygen an&#13;
merckt auff ir Frawen und ir Mann&#13;
was sich da thät begeben: &#13;
Mit disem Schaffner und seim Weib &#13;
deßgleichen an den Kindern mit leyd&#13;
wie sie kamen umbs leben. &#13;
&#13;
Die Fraw auß falschem herz unn Muth&#13;
thât irem Mann betriegen&#13;
bracht zusamen vil gele und gut&#13;
daran thu ich nit liegen &#13;
mit dem Knecht mach er sie ein Bund&#13;
heymich und gar verborgen &#13;
wie ichs will machen kundt. &#13;
&#13;
Als nun der bund beschlossen ward&#13;
den ihn der böse Geist eingab&#13;
sie wolten auff von hinnen:&#13;
Das B?ut und Gelt namens mit ihn&#13;
ziehen inn frembde Lande hin&#13;
doch das mans nit wurd innen. &#13;
&#13;
Das sie vom Kloster kommen zwar&#13;
heymlich und gar verborgen&#13;
die Fraw dem Knecht gab einen Rath&#13;
er solt ohn alles Sorgen&#13;
den Schaffner erschlagen unnd ermordt&#13;
ihn in das Hauß vergraben&#13;
an ein heymbliches Orth. &#13;
&#13;
Der Knecht folget der Frawen rath&#13;
als er den Schaffner erschlagen hat&#13;
vergraub in die Kirchen: &#13;
Die Fraw auß Tyrannischem Scheyn&#13;
nam ir drey kleine Kinderlein&#13;
thäts jämmerlich erwürgen. &#13;
&#13;
Henckt sie all drey an der stett&#13;
im Hauß an einen Balcken&#13;
das vierdt der Knecht ermörden thät&#13;
der Bößwicht und auch Schalcke &#13;
er stachs jämmerlich durch sein Herz&#13;
mit eim spitzigen Dochen&#13;
O jammer noth und schmerz. &#13;
&#13;
Nun will ich jetzund zeygen an &#13;
wie sie das erste Kind hernam&#13;
unnd thets geschwind auffhencken:&#13;
Das ander es erschen haties &#13;
war ein Knäblein an der statt&#13;
lieff schnell und auch geschwindt.&#13;
&#13;
Sucht seinen Vatter in dem Hauß&#13;
wolt im dasselbig sagen&#13;
lieff alle schlüpff und winckel auß&#13;
der Vatter war schon erschlagen&#13;
das wust das kleine Kindlein nit&#13;
doch meynt es sich zuretten&#13;
aber halffe alles nit. &#13;
&#13;
Sie names grimmig bey der Hand&#13;
unnd henckt es hinden an die Wand&#13;
das dritt mit noch und klagen :&#13;
War ein Meidlein bey fünff Jar alt&#13;
weynet bitterlich in der Gstalt&#13;
und thet zur Mutter sagen. &#13;
&#13;
Ach liebe Mutter thu mirs nit&#13;
wie dem Philipp dort hinden&#13;
ich bitt dich also fleissigklich&#13;
aber sie war verblendet&#13;
der Teuffel hät sie besessen gar&#13;
zu demselbigen male&#13;
kein Erbarmung bey it nicht war. &#13;
&#13;
Sie bandt ihm Händt und Füß mit Leyd&#13;
unnd hänckt es zu den andern zwey&#13;
an den Balcken zur Stunden:&#13;
Das vierdt wolt sie auch hencken auff&#13;
da kam sie an ein Schräcken unnd grauß &#13;
verstocket und verstummet. &#13;
&#13;
Fiel ob den Kindlein in ein Ohnmacht&#13;
die That wa? sie gerawen&#13;
der verzweyflet Bößwicht an der statt&#13;
erstachs ohn alleb trawren&#13;
das kleine Kinnlein an der statt&#13;
 O Gott laß dichs erbarmen&#13;
die jämmerliche That.&#13;
&#13;
Als nun die Kinder ein gantze Nacht &#13;
hiengen im Kloster mit Weh unnd Klag&#13;
hört was sich hat begeben:&#13;
Vil Liecher sah mann die gantz Nacht&#13;
in dem Kloster hoch auff dem Tach &#13;
hin unnd auch wider schweben. &#13;
&#13;
Da nun das Volck im Flecken zwar&#13;
mit Schröcken hätt vernommen&#13;
wie dises Zeichen gsehen war&#13;
auff den Morgen thäten kommen&#13;
zehen gewehrter Mann zuhand&#13;
das Kloster thet man bschawen&#13;
hört weiter ihr Christen allsandt. &#13;
&#13;
Da sie ins Kloster kamen zwar&#13;
die Fraw erschrack der grossen Gfahr&#13;
thät solchs dem Knecht verkünden:&#13;
Der Knecht wolt springen zum Ladennauß&#13;
sie namen ihn gfangen ohn Grauß&#13;
da sahen sie die Kinder&#13;
jämmerlich hangen wie ich sag&#13;
&#13;
mit Schräcken unnd mit Klagen&#13;
O weht der jämmerlichen That&#13;
der Schaffner war auch erschlagen&#13;
man führts gen Cöln inn die Statt&#13;
da thäten sie bekennen &#13;
vor eim Ersamen Weisen Rath.&#13;
&#13;
Das Urtheyl war gefället drat&#13;
das man solt richten mit dem Rad&#13;
den Knecht thu ich euch sagen:&#13;
Zween Griff mit glüenden Zangen schon&#13;
solt man nach seinen Brüsten thon &#13;
beyde Händt auch abschlagen. &#13;
&#13;
Auff der Wahlstatt vor jedermann&#13;
thät man die Fraw herführen&#13;
kläglich als ich euch zeyge an&#13;
must sie ihr Leben verlieren&#13;
lebendigs mans begraben hat&#13;
ein Pfaal durch ihr Herz gschlagen&#13;
gelegt under das Rad. </text>
