Two points on this:
1. Your example describes something using many words that are, how shall I put it, rather modern, some of which are borrowed from other languages, such as: aesthetic, Fosnachsfigua, baroque, majestic, Venetian, carnival. (lat: carne levare)
The Bavarian dialect of the Middle Ages was much less wordy and was spoken differently. You should therefore use a text that corresponds to the period, as I did with "Ortloff von Baierland".
But let's take a text from Wikipedia that fits the period. For example, the description of a plant.
Here is the description of ‘salat’ in Bavarian “salod” english "salad"

Salodpflanzna nennt ma olle Pflanzna, aus dena a koids, unkochts Essn gmocht wead, des wo ma Salod nennt. Des san oiso koa botanische Gruppn vo Pflanzna sondan a reine Zuaordnung vo da Kuchl.
And here too the language is even more modern, such as: botanical, in the past probably more ‘"nach der natur" – in the past, people would not have said "salodpflanza", but only salod. ‘Zuardnung’ is also rather modern.
2. In addition, I clearly stated that it was written phonetically, as was not uncommon at the time.
And then it would have come out as medieval (botanical was replaced, Salodpflanzna= Salod, Zuordnung stays).
Salod nent ma all Pflanz, aus dena kouds unkocht essn gmocht wead, des woma salod nennt. Des san oiso koa Gruppn nach der natur, sondan a rain Zuaordnung vonda kuchl.
And here it fits reasonably well again.
But people at that time would probably have expressed it differently. That is why texts from the Middle Ages should be used for comparison.
