Summary:

Undated ms. copy of one complete poem and a portion of another poem that appear in the collection Trauer- und Trost-Gedicht by Johann Schmiden. The complete poem is by Johannes Röber and begins, "Die Zeit, in der ein Mensch sein Leben pflegt zu führen ..."; this is preceded by the last three lines of a poem "Trost-Ode" of Johannes Langaut, which begins, "Wenn wir diese Welt besehen ..."

The ms. sheet appears to be a fragment of a longer collection of copied poems, since it contains the numeral "5." in the upper-right hand corner and since it contains only the end of the Langaut poem.

The Langaut poem and the Röber poem are printed on opposite sides of the same leaf in the 1664 edition of Trauer- und Trost-Gedicht; they are the last items in the book.

Folder includes three leaves of xerox copies from the book: the title page and each of the two poems.
