Original text and translations

German text Ich armer knab bin gar schabab/ wo soll ich mich hinkeren/ glücks fall ich harr/ als mancher narr/ der hoffweiß muß erst lernen/ noch kan ich nit den rechten sitt/ in kurtz noch leng erfaren/ kein nacht, kein tag on alle zag/ wil mich darin nit sparen.

English translation I, poor boy, am totaly worn-out/ where shall I turn/ good luck fails me/ as it fails any fool/ who must, for the first time, learn courtly manners/ I can't get it right/ not with short nor with long practice/ no night, no day without everybody telling me/ I should practice more.
