Un Lion mort combattu par des Lapins
[f16915051]
Un Lion mort combattu par des Lapins
Cum larvis non luctantur
Il est honteux de combattre avec les Morts
E vergogna combattere co’ Morti
Es vergonçoso de pelear con los Muertos
Het is schande met Doode te vechten
It is a shame to fight vvith Dead
Es ist schändlich mit den Todten zu fechten
