| Magistrátus est necessárius Ut Réx in régnó régnet Dominus domí dominétur Quí imperant, sint clémentés. Quí parent, obsequentés. Herus probus probátur, sicut fídus subditus. Princeps est minor atque Dux. Comes, major quam Baró. Nóbilis, eques ínsígnibus dónátus. | A magistrate is necessary So that the King may reign in his Kingdom May a Lord rule at home May those who rule be merciful May those that obey be obliging An honest master is approved, as is a faithful subject A prince is lower than a Duke An Earl is greater than a Baron A nobleman, a knight ennobled with titles |
| Pax est prórsus optanda. Bellum est perniciósum. Nisi quum hostis arcendus est. Mílités merent stípendia, Quum præliantur & pugnant Tubæ clangunt, tympanum sonant. Ex arcubus jaciunt sagittás, Gladiís dímicant. Armís sé defendunt. Tormentís arcés expugnant. Revertuntur cum victoriá. | Peace is always preferable War is pernicious Unless an enemy is to be driven away Soldiers serve for wages When they fight and skirmish The trumpets sound, the drums beat They shoot arrows with bows They fight with swords They defend themselves with weapons They beat down towers with cannons They return with victory |
