Proverbe en espagnol : « Acometa quien quiera, el fuerte espera. »
Traduction française : « Attaque qui voudra, le brave l'attendra. »
So free translated it means , Attack whoever wants, the brave are waiting !
I can only imagine what the owner must have felt holding this rapier in his hands while these lyrics went trough his mind ...
Kind Regards
