The answer was timely and accurate.

Most exhaustive and thorough research.

Very impressive work in translations and genealogy study. 5/5 stars!

Good work scriptor!

Perfect, as always, friend Scriptor.  And in record time, too, I
think--no overnight wait for time zones to catch up.  I must have
caught you on your day off.

The writing is going well, taking some interesting turns, developing
new dimensions.  Hope the same is so for you.

Best regards,
Tryx

[I notice that the German link in your Google search ("lieber ein
bettler")seems to reference some very literal translations that are
more economical word-wise.]

Very quick and accurate.  Thanks.

The answer, comment, and clarification are spot-on and a good value. I
still have some questions, but am pursuing the references provided by
scriptor-ga with some success. Perhaps I will be back with another
well formulated question after further research. Tom Fulks

I didn't get the answer, but it turned out to be a tougher question
than I thought. Scriptor tried his/her best.

Good Work.  I don't have the computer skills that you have got.
                thank you again   Tony

Thanks scriptor. This IS the painting I was looking for. The
postershop is a bit too salty, I will try the Kunstgalaxie (I live in
Germany).
I do feel a bit awkward about the question: the answer was in the
title. I am not too lazy to search on my own - I did that but the word
lover did not occur to me as I was searching.. Thanks..

Thank you scriptor, for the fast response, this answers my question. 
I'll bid on ebay.

The response received provided me with enough information for my
research needs. Best of all it was quick.

Thanks for your insight. Much appreciated.

Very informative.  Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks scriptor. You're a great help. I'm currently preparing a book

I'll mention your help in the acknowledgements.
