That star herb sets the swollen where it is found,

They come from rivers, and otherwise one is injured,

The one who sets my name is drumb, I also want to be hard-working

Adding something doesn’t get drawn into it

And want to get more and more rough, one must soon crush

That no rotten nuts may remain in one limb,

We may be healthy with fruits

They lead Vnß the way to heaven.

Barthold Karl von Brietzke died on November 12, 1647 in Weimar at the age of 44.
