BALLADE OF VANISHING WILD FLOWERS, BETSINDA DANCES AND OTHER POEMS
“Not chaffering war but waging war, not with gold but with iron—thus let us of both sides make trial for our lives”
Nec cauponantes bellum sed belligerantes;
Ferro non auro vitam cernamus utrique.
As quoted by Cicero in De Officiis, Book I, Chapter XII
“Let us fly and save our bacon.”
