Un Lion qui a un Serpent autour de son col
Nil decentius
Rien n’est plus propre que le courage & la Prudence
Niente di più propio che el coraggio & la Prudenza
No ay nada mas conveniente que el corage y la prudencia
Niets is my meer eygen als kloeckmoedighyd en Voorzichtighyd
Nothing is more proper for me than courage and discretion
