Don't worry, I am completely calm. Even when I had not the time to (de-)construct some strange understandings.
Textblock says:
"Der Geitz mich tribuliert,
Die Hoffart mich vexiert,
Der Neyd mir ließ kein rhu"
...
Der Geiz mich tribuliert -> the stinginess is tormenting me,
Der Hochmut ("Hoffart" is outdated) mich ärgert ("vexiert" is outdated) -> the pride/arrogance annoys me,
Der Neid ließ mir keine Ruh' -> the envy is not leaving me in peace.
You see even the different letters ß = sz in "ließ", and the tz in Geitz in your own picture.
"Death" is mentioned in the line above.
So in a row of Death, stinginess, pride, and envy: which one is the goat?

So be nice and helpful to people and people
I saw such a "run" against T. Timm here some time before. He was just texting a sober reply, not everybody likes that "tone" if it is contradicting the latest idea.
But I found it more helpful not to get lost in wrong understandings.
