| ~ Lustig gelebt und seelig gestorben ~ | |
| Sounds like the devil didn't want to make you do this on this light relief stein made by Adolph Diesinger ca. 1900. | |
|
Lustig gelebt und seelig gestorben das heißt dem Teufel die Rechnung verdorben. |
(A life) merrily lived and spiritually died is what the devil calls a rotten reckoning. |
 |
 |
| This verse can also be seen on the earthenware stein without lid marked with the logo of John Maresch and number 9736, ca. 1900, shown below. | ||
