lose track of them,
As for my words, you should not turn away
from them,
This passage is repeated more-or-less verbatim in lines 84-87 and lines 149-152. ETCSL
omits ßu from line 151 (equivalent to line 156 in Alster’s edition [1974, 42]), but all four
of the exemplars that preserve the relevant part of the line in Alster’s edition include the
ßu (Alster 1974, 62).
