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
