Behold freely with attentive eyes, what you see printed before you, O youth! / And, if you notice everyone's work capacity, / Then you will find its benefit with joy
This print is well worth double the money, / Where the Cinderella of the hearth / And in the oppression of the family, / Yet was elevated to a princess
Nothing should diminish your attention, When you are looking at the print / You learn from it, eager children, How to unite one's benefit with diligence
See, Dear Youth, These Prints Stand, / Which Each Separately Show / Something of Human Conduct, / Which One Can Daily Witness
This print is worth double the money, / Where the Ashpoester of the hearth / And in distress of the household, / Yet was raised to a princess
