~ Will ich am frischen Trunk mich laben ~
 
This is a self explanatory verse on a Jugendstil (youth style = modern art) stein marked "BTM" for "Brüder (brothers) Thannhauser" of Munich, ca. early 1900's.
 
Will ich am frischen Trunk mich laben -
möcht ich meine ruhe haben.
If I restore myself with a fresh drink,
I might like to have it in peace.
