Ich ward gleich wie Phoenix durchs Feuer geboren / Ich flog durch die Lüffte? ward doch nicht verloren / Ich wandert im waßer ich streiffte zu Land, in solchem Umschwermen macht ich mir bekant / was oft mich betrübet und selten ergetzet, was war das? Ich habs in dies Buch hier gesetzet / Damit sich der Leser gleich wie ich itzt thu, entferne der Torheit, und Lebe in Ruh.
[Like Phoenix I was born from fire / I flew though the airs? yet was not lost / I wandered in water I roamed over land, in such swarming around I made myself known / what oftentimes grieved me and rarely amused / what was that? I put it in this book here / So that the reader, like I'm doing now, may retire from folly and live in peace.]
