�Wer nicht liebt, trinkt u. singt,
es nie zu wahrer Freude bringt.�

(He who does not love, drink and sing,
never achieves true happiness.)

Landsknechte were feudal serfs used for military purposes by their masters. These �soldiers� were often traded between landowners and were, in a sense, the equivalent of modern mercenaries, with the important difference that they were not free to choose their employer.
