"Cuando el sable este mohoso,el arado resplandeciente, vacía la cárcel, el granero lleno, la escalera del Templo gastada, la del Tribunal llena de yerba, y en fin, cuando el médico va de pie, el panadero a caballo y el literato en coche, la nación esta bien gobernada"

"When the sabre is mouldy, the plough is gleaming, the jail is empty, the barn is full, the stairs of the Temple are worn out, the stairs to the Court are full of weeds and finally, when the doctor walks (goes on foot), the baker rides a horse and the man of letters drives a car (goes by car), the nation is well ruled (governed)"

One more question if you don't mind, Lilly...

mohoso - moudly

It has three different meanings, so You meant: "boring", "out-of-date" or "rotten"?

It's "mouldy" not "moudly".
This time the misspelling is yours

Hehe, so now we're square...

But, I thought just about "mouldy" and still don't know which of the three meanings I should consider...

For me "out-of-date" would be here the best...

"Mouldy" means:
1. covered with mould
2. stale or musty, especially from age or lack of use.
