Children, if you wish to increase your joy, / And study in this print, / Cut them out beautifully according to the design, / And paste them on stiff paper
Honest play may amuse you, O youth, / But do not follow the pranks of Till Eulenspiegel, / Remain virtuous and dutiful, - then you will taste joy, / Then this true pleasure - that soul's delight - will reach its peak / Take honest amusements, my dear ones / Do not follow the tricks
