The translation of its inscriptions is:
"The always shadowing eye of the divine Star / Entirely banishes mourning of a country, / Whenmholding the sword, and the Balance in hand / She judges and punishes the unhuman thief, / Who lie in wait for the paysants, hurts them, and enjoy it, / Then becomes himself the toy of a wheel." This is a copy by SCHENK, Leornadus, etched in the 18th century. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | WHEEL : PUNISHMENT : WAR : PRIEST : BREAKING : SOLDIER : CHURCH : PIERCE : MISERY OF WAR : SET : VOLUME : COPY : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
