Dmitry

Hello,
I would really appreciate if someone could translate this little poem from German to English. Google Translate is worthless in this case.
Thank you!

By my estimation, without checking the silver hallmarks, stylistically I would pronounce this trousse as a South German, perhaps Bavarian, ca.1760-1780.

Das Jagen
Ist Ein
altes Recht
es gehöret
für den Adel
und Sein
geschlecht

If this translates signified that only the nobility may go hunting.

Free translatet:

The hunting
is an
old right
it belongs
to the nobility
and His
lineage

Thank you very much, Thomas!!!

Does the poem language by any chance point to a particular Germanic dialect, or it's generic?

Hello Dmitry,

no special dialect, it is only one old general formulation.
