Priamel
Priamel refers to a form of the German-speaking provenance poetry , derived from the Latin word praeambulum , German: (cumbersome) preface, cf. Preamble .
The poem is short and provides (usually in pair rhymes ) clusters that are led to a punchline in the final verse . The priam is thus similar to the epigram and the gnome , but in a popular form and often with satirical intent. Example:
Berliner Kind
Spandauer Rind
Charlottenburg Horse
are all worth nothing.
As a form of impromptu art , the priamel has been handed down in preforms in the late Middle Ages and has served as an insert in carnival games since the 15th century . This poem was collected in several manuscripts (Donaueschingen, Wolfenbüttel) and partly lived on in inscriptions until the 17th century, but then did not experience any further tradition. The Nuremberg-based Hans Rosenplüt and Hans Folz are considered to be priamel poets .
For the musical prelude of the same name, see Prelude .
