Text:

Hier wird um wenig geld ein gute Wurst, gebraten, womit dem Hunger
wird doch nicht dem durst geraten, den einer leschen Kan nach
hertzens wunsch dar auf an einem solchen Ort wo wein u bier zu kauff.


Partial speculative translation (WARNING: I do not speak German):

Here for not much money a good sausage, roasted, with which Hunger
will be converted to thirst, to quench which one's heart's desire
is a place where one can also buy wine and beer.
