Good people, poor and rich,

take a look in this mirror,

the young as well as the old,

and bear in mind

that no man can evade Death,

when he is present,

as we well can see here.

If we have many good deeds

to reflect credit on us,

we shall be united with God.

We shall be rewarded for everything.

And take my advice, dear children,

don´t go astray,

model yourself on good examples only,

for Death may come quite

unexpectly.

(Bernt Notke c, 1430-1509)
