[Cz-L] CURSES

 Riddle :
 Ich hob ihm in der Erd .( I wish him in the ground).
    Der Schlag soll ihm treffen .( He should get a stroke).
        Soll mir sein far dir. ( I should get it instead of you).
          Soll er farchapt wern .( He should be fetched away).
             Der Rich soll ihm chappen .( The devil should catch him).
         Soll er hobn a Miesse meshine . ( He should have an strange
decease).
     One of the above is not a curse !
      Find it and you get a medal !
