~ Wer zuviel trinkt der ist ein Narr ~ | |
This is a 1/2 L etched Hauber & Reuther stein marked "HR 436 K" made ca. 1900. The scene appears to be of a 14th century legendary character called Till Eulenspiegel (Till Owl Mirror), a clown and a trickster written about widely. The verse makes sense to me. | |
Wer zuviel trinkt der ist ein Narr. Wers Trinken hasst, noch mehr für wahr. |
He who drinks too much is a fool. He who hates drinking, note him carefully. |
