Geizhals
Language: German (Deutsch)
Der Geizhals träget keine Scheu
den besten Freund aus heuchelei
für einen Thaler zu verdammen.
Ich setze kühnlich diss hinzu:
ein geiziger und ein Filu
stehn nach der treu gepart beisammen.

The miser
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
The miser isn't shy
(the best friend of hypocrisy)
to condemn for a thaler.
I propose this daringly in addition:
a miser and a filu
remain after the faithful depart together.
