Wer hie Sanct Veit besuchen wil

Translation:
50 Fifty Pfennigs 50

Whoever wishes to visit Saint Vitus here
should bring much gold and deal honestly,
he is an honorable servant of Saint Vitus;
with honor he comes as bidden,
without harm and without annoyance.
Buy with money and take not without pay,
this teaching shall remain with me for all time.
