Quando ensis mucore obducitur, aratrum fulget, carcer est vacuus, stabulum est plenum, scalae templi devastantur, scalae tribunalis herbarum inutilium plenae sunt et denique quando medicus ambulat, pistor equo vehitur atque scriptor autovehiculum ducit, res publica bene geritur.
Remarks about the translation
Bridge by dear Lilian: "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)"
