It translates as:by PEB
"A Rhenish girl,
a Rhenish wine,
surely this has got to be
Heaven on Earth!
Your Otto"
It's a (slightly incorrect) quote from a song. See here for a period recording:

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.

We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
