On one side, in french : Birth, Love walks alone, He finds a bow and arrows, Love tries out his arrow, He dreams that there is a world, He seeks fortune in the world, He arrives on earth, He misses the goal, He breaks his weapons out of spite, He meets a heart, He mourns the loss of his weapons, Love covers his weapons, He expresses his gratitude.
On the other side: He sharpens his strokes, He encounters obstacles, He turns away in despair, He encounters hope, He rises sustained by hope, He strikes a heart sustained by hope, He presents hearts at the altar, He unites hearts. And below: He prepares his triumph, He triumphs.
