A Warning by Dr. Martin Luther.

    • Viel falscher Meister itzt Lieder tichten
    • Sihe dich fuer und lern sie recht richten
    • Wo Gott hin bawet sein Kirch und sein wort
    • Da will der Tenfel sein mit trug und mord.
    • Wittenberg, 1543; Leipzig, 1545.

    • False masters now abound, who songs indite;
    • Beware of them, and learn to judge them right:
    • Where God builds up his Church and Word, hard by
    • Satan is found with murder and a lie.
    • Translation by R. Massie.

From The “Eight Songs,” Wittenberg, 1524.
