"Whoever only sips wine will not be able to fully enjoy it.
And whoever drinks it to his heart's content will never regret it!"
(Whoever only sips wine from a glass will not benefit from it.
However, anyone who drinks it from the heart will never regret it!)
A Landsknecht is a serf who is used by his master for military purposes. These "soldiers" were often sold from one estate to another, and in a sense they were the equivalent of modern-day mercenaries, with the important difference that they could not choose their own employer.
