Friedrich der Drit/ Chur= furzt und Herzog zu Sachsen.
on paper, beneath the sitter:

Friedrich bin ich billich genant
Schönen frid ich erhielt im land.
Durch gros Vernunft / gedult und glück
Widder manchen ertzbösen tück.
Das land ich zieret mit gebew
Und Stifft ein hohe Schul auffs new.
Zu Wittemberg im Sachssen land
Inn der welt die ward bekand
Denn aus der selb kam Gottes wort Und thet gros ding an manchem ort.
Das Bepstlich reich störtze es nidder
Und bracht rechten glauben widder.
Zum Keisar ward erkorn ich
Des mein alter beschweret sich.
Dafur ich Keisar Carl erwelt
Von dem mich nicht wand gonst noch gelt.

John the Steadfeast of Saxony:
Printed paper, top left:
Johans der Erst / Churfurst vnd Hertzog zu Sachssen.
Printed paper, underneath the sitter, in two columns:- Left column:

Nach meines lieben bruders end
Bleib auff mir gantz Regimend.
Mit grosser sorg vnd mancher fahr
Da der Bawer toll vnd töricht war.
Die auffrhur fast ynn allem land
Wie gros fewer im wald entbrand.
Welches ich halff dempfen mit Gott
Der Deudsches land erret aus not.
Der Rottengeister feind ich war
Hielt im land das wort rein vnd klar.
Gros drawen bittern hass vnd neid
Vmb Gottes worts willen ich leid.
Frey bekand ichs aus hertzem grund
Vnd personlich selbst ich da stund.
Vor dem Keisar vnd gantzen Reich
Von Fursten gschach vor nie des gleich
Solchs gab mir mein Gott besnnder [sic!]
Vmd vor der wellt was ein wunder.

- Right column:

Vmd land vnd leut zu bringen mich
Hofft beid freund und feind gewislich.
Ferdnand zu Römischm König gmacht
Vnd sein wahl ich allein anfacht.
Auff das das alte Recht bestünd
Inn der gulden Bullen gegründ.
Wiewol das grossen zorn erregt
Mich doch mehr recht denn gunst beweg[t]
Das hertz gab Gott dem Keisar zart
Mein guter freund zu letzt er ward.
Das ich mein end im frid beschlos
Vast sehr den Teuffel das verdros.
Erfarn hab ichs vnd zeugen thar
Wie vns die Schrifft sagt vnd ist war.
Wer Gott mit ernst vertrawen kan
Der bleibt ein vnnerdorben [sic!] man.
Es zürne Teuffel odder welt
Den sieg er doch zuletzt behelt.
