Sechster Spruch
Der Reiche dieser Welt, was hat er für Gewinn,
dass er muß mit Verlust von seinem Reichtum ziehn?
The Merchant
I’m not prepared, and cannot be!
My money’s sunk into property,
My fields are sown with ripening corn,
My wares on boat and wagon borne...
I’ve made hard journeys in my day,
But none have caused me such dismay.
If I had only time to settle
My books, I’d be in finer fettle.
The man who takes the honest road
And does not charge more than he’s owed
May face the Judge, when his time comes,
And know that justice will be done.
Unless you planned some such deceit,
Your books are already complete
And there’s no need to add a thing.
Come, Mercenary, join our ring!
Written by: Angelus Silesius, Hugo Distler
