Crescens

CrescensCresces quisque meam futuit rivalis amicam, illum secretis montibus ursus edat.

Text follows Castren and Lilus, picture checked by Orlandi in 2016.

Crescens, whatever rival shags my lover, may a bear devour him in some hidden mountain.

Crescente, qualunque rivale chiavi la mia amante, un orso lo divori in qualche recesso di monte.

Crescente, si algún rival ,se tira a mi amiga, que un oso se lo coma en las montañas más alejadas.
