~ O Menschenkind dein hoher Mut ~
This etched stein ca. 1900 by Matthias Girmscheid with mold number 768 shows the exuberant customers starting the libations at a tavern, but it doesn't show the often acquired result which is stated in the verse.
 
O Menschenkind dein hoher Mut,
tut in der Kneipe selten Gut.
Wie mancher tät stolz herein spazieren
und kroch hinaus auf allen vieren.
Oh humankind your high spirits,
rarely do any good in a tavern.
How many walked in proudly
and crawled out on all fours.
