Der Kunst liebhab den ruwt sgalt nit
So er schon nach so vil drūm gibt
Wan Künstlich ding man haben wil
Lust müh vnd arbeidt warlich vil
Darumb sol Kunst für alles gan
Vnd haben hie in diser Welt Ehr stan

Translation: The lover of art does not rest easily, even if he gives much for it. Since one wishes to have artistic things, true desire, effort, and work are required. Therefore, art should come before everything, and here in this world, have standing honor.
