Une cage vuide
[f16911581]
Une cage vuide
Sine arte vacat
Elle est toûjours vuide si la ruse ne s’en mêle
Se l’arte non gioca sara sempre vota
Es aspra se no es ayudada del oficio
Zy is altyt leeg als bedrog niet te baat komt
It is alvvays empty, if cheat does not assist
Er ist alzeit lähr, vvan der list nicht beystehet
