~ Noch keiner starb in der Jugend ~
 
Sounds like an oxymoron verse on this tall etched probable JWR master stein ca. 1900. The salutation on the barrel is part Latin, but used frequently in German student songs.
 
Noch keiner starb in der Jugend
der bist in's alter gezecht!


Brüderschen ergo bibamus!
Nobody perished in their youth
who was a drinker in old age!


Therefore dear brothers, let us drink!
