I don't know much Latin but I would think "Pro Deo et rege"
is Latin for "For God and king". It's not Irish anyway!

The usual word for a victory or win in Irish in "bua".

Hope that helps!

Faigheann gach duine bás - every human dies.
Man (i.e. male human) would be
Faigheann gach fear bás

"not every man lives"
Ní mhaireann gach duine (fear)
