~ Was kann uns mehr erfreuen ~ | |
This self-explanatory verse appears to be from a German student drinking song and "Eva" must be a generic beautiful young maiden. The etched stein is marked with the Mettlach logo, form number 2520, designer's initials "HS" (Heinrich Schlitt) and dated 1906. | |
Was kann uns mehr erfreuen, als Weib, Gesang und Wein? Ein gut Glas Bier um halber acht, wenn mir's die Eva hat gebracht. |
What can give us more pleasure than women, song and wine? A good glass of beer about half to eight (7:30), when it's brought to me by Eva. |
