Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The caricature shows a fat monk, used as bagpipe by the devil. The monk-bagpipe is not Martin Luther (as asserted in some popular literature), but a representative of contemporaneous monasticism which is denunciated to be inspired by the devil. The German text says:

Once I (the devil) piped here and there
with such pipes, which where very numerous.
I piped many fairy tales, dreams and fantasies.
Now it's over and the pipes destroyed (by the Lutheran reformation)
which makes me sad and angry.
But I hope this won't last long
because in the world there is enough haughtiness,
sin, fraud and ruse.

Deutsch: Die Karikatur zeigt einen fetten Mönch, vom Teufel als Dudelsack gebraucht. Im beigefügten Text klagt der Teufel, dass die vielen derartigen Pfeifen, mit denen er früher Fabeln und Fantasien verbreitete, ihm nun (durch die Reformation) zerstört seien, hofft aber, dass das nicht lange dauern werde, weil die Welt so sündig und verlogen sei:

Vor zeytten pfiff ich hin vnd her
Aus solchen Pfeiffen dicht vnd mer
Vil Fabel Trewm vnd Fanthasie
Ist yetzunde auß vnd gar entzwey
Das ist mir leyd auch schwer vnd bang
Doch hoff ich es wer auch nit lang
Die weyl die welt so furwitz ist
Sündelich dückisch vol arger list.
