Original text and translations

German text Mensch, leb fürsichtig allezeit, vertrau nit jedem dein Heimlichkeit, halt solch bei dir verborgen. Obwohl voll Honigs ist der Mund, findt sich doch Gift ins Herzens Grund, drum leb allzeit in Sorgen.

English translation Human, always live cautiously, do not tell your secrets to everyone, keep it hidden within you. Although the mouth be full of honey, poison may be found in the depths of the heart, therefore always live with care. Translation by Gerhard Weydt
