Corrections:
1 ... Post jucundam juventutem (iuventus = fem.!)
3 ... Transite ad inferos, ubi jam fuere
4 ... Vivat membrum quodlibet! Vivant membra (pl.!) quaelibet! = long live any member, long live any members
7 ... Quivis antiburschius = any foe of the students (Bursch, now used for a adolescent male, is the old name of the student, derived from the Latin bursa = [common] purse, the medieval college where students and professors lived together.)

The song was revised by Kindleben (not Kindeleben or Kindelben)

Title of the songbook: Lieder fuer Freunde der geselligen Freude (omit n), Leipzig 1788 [ed. 1799 with the add.: zunächst für Studierende oder Neues akademisches Liederbuch = Songs for friends of convivial joy [at first for students or new academic songbook]
