"Le bailli vendage, le prevot grappe, le procureur prend, le sergent happe, le seigneur n'a rien, s'il ne leur echappe."
(The sheriff picks, the judge grinds, the prosecutor takes, the constable snatches, and the lord has nothing, if he escapes them not.)
- Jacques Pineaux, Proverbes et Dictons Francais
