The legend warns that excessive drinking results, above all, in every form of dishonourable and dissolute behaviour. The Dutch text plays on the double meaning of the verb verwekken, which means ‘to produce’– both consequences and children. The risk of an unwanted pregnancy would have constituted an additional danger of such intemperance.
