| ~ Den ärmsten Schlucker, dem König gleich ~ | |
| Good songs make the rich and poor alike happy is the theme on this Jugendstil (youth style = modern art) stein without lid marked with the Johann Peter Thewalt logo and "1229 Germany", ca. early 1900's. | |

Den ärmsten Schlucker, dem König gleich, des weihes Minne macht froh und reich. |
The poorest wretch, the king alike, the solemn lyrics make merry and exuberant. |
