Einn schönn neu Liedt vonn dem abgefallnenn unnd ubell erweldenn Bischoff von Collnn, im Thonn wie mann denn armenn Judas singt
- Description
- Song in 9 stanzas concerning the marriage of Gebhard, Archbishop of Cologne, and his consequent deposition from his office, events that took place in 1583; intended to be sung to the tune of the popular church song "O du armer Judas." The song uses Latin phrases at the ends of lines, apparently in a humorous vein.
