An einem vastag das geschach
Das einem armen man zu sprach
Ein vngenügig reicher man
Das mittag mal mit im zu han
Des volgt der arm vnd do man gas
Der reich gem armen frag aus mas
Welcher stant hie doch angefer
Des himelreichs sicherer wer
Einr der in grossem reichtum swept
Oder der steet in armut lept
Having looked at it a bit more, I'm starting to suspect is should be a form of "gân" (gehen).
On a fast day it happened
That a poor man spoke to
an insatiable (?) rich man
to have the noon meal with him
he followed the poor man, and as they walked,
the rich man asked the poor man etc...
Do you have the source text here?
Looks like it is more „des folgt der arm und so man gas“
as well as „welcher stant hie doch angeher“ (welchem Stand er angehört = which estate he belongs to).
„so man gas“ would be a hint to „so man ging“ (as they walked), but is quite an unusual form.
