Original text and translations

German text Der heilig herr Sanct Jacob/ der füllet uns die Scheurn/ noch seyn die wucherer so grob/ und alle ding vertheurn/ Alles Getraids kauffen sie vil/ schütten die Kasten vol/ das ist fürwar ein böses spil/ wers wider von ihn haben wil/ der muß bezalen wol.

English translation The holy lord Saint James/ fills us with itching/ the usurers are rude/ and all goods disappear/ They are buying upp much in all trades/ closing the lids on their filled boxes/ Which is truly an evil play/ Who ever wants to have something/ he must pay well.
