Une Lune, & un Chien aboyant au dessous
[f16916001]
Une Lune, & un Chien aboyant au dessous
Despicit alta feras
Son élevation lui fait mépriser les menaces
La sua altezzala fa sprezzare le minaccie
Su alteza le haze menospreciar las amenazas
Haar hooghyd doet haar het dreigen verachten
Her highnesse doth despise the menacings
Ihr hochheit thut sie das trövven verachten
