Original text and translations

German text Was hilfft den reichen gelt und gut/  und grosser pracht auff erden/  ob er die Welt gleich gwinnen thut/  muß er doch Aschen werden/  und fahrn dahin/  Gott weiß wohin,  der todt ist dann sein letzter gwin.

English translation What helps riches, money and goods/  and great splendor on earth/  though you win the whole world/  you will become ashes  and will depart/  God knows where/  death is then your final gain.
