Ouch. Not only is it the old german script, the orthography is also quite different from modern standards. I propose either getting a book where that script is explained and try to figure out what the text says by yourself, or find someone who can do it for you ... :-)

The writing form isn't so hard to get used to, really. I got hold of an old German penmanship text and taught myself to *write* it I could hand in one German essay written like this.
