In the Harsdörfer text, the text continues after the Grimm version ends. Below is what the Grimms do not include in the KHM - "the moral of the sotry" so to speak. 4. This poem means [to] the Godless and
Pious greedy and future situation: They live unequal and are after death different again. The evil ones live well / and look to the rightuous their possessions to bring to themselves: The pious here live badly and enjoy
themselves in their situation. These shock not an hour for death: these demand not more than to die: are also to their time into the eternal bliss/ as those into eternal damnation transferred/as [the] following telling
demonstrates.
The text goes on to list sections 5. - 12.
evil = Bösen. transferred = versätzt demonstrates =darthun |
