Un Loup qui veut devorer un Chevreuil, & qui le quitte pour aller prendre un Mouton qu’il manque
[f16910321]
Un Loup qui veut devorer un Chevreuil, & qui le quitte pour aller prendre un Mouton qu’il manque
Oblivio paupertatis parens
C’est le moyen d’être frustré, que d’oublier ce qu’on a à faire
Chi più abraccia manco stringe
Quien mas embrasa menos aprietta
Men vverd bedrogen, als men zyne zaaken verzuimt
A man loses all by coveting all
Der viel Hasen nachjaget, fanget nicht einen
