Un Aigle portant la foudre en l’air, au dessous un Arbre sur lequel il y plusieurs petits Oiseau qui chantent
Pax decet imbelles
C’est aux poltrons d’étre oisifs & a moi de faire la guerre
Per i poltroni la pace, per i generosi la guerra
La pas para los couardes y para los generosos la guera
De lafhertigen rusten en ik voer den oorlog
Cowards are lazy and I make vvar
Die verzagten sind müssig und ich führe den krieg
