In French, which derives partly from Latin, the word for "gut" on a
lute, is "boyaux", literally "bowels" ("bowels" comes from early
French); while if you show courage, you have "tripes", "Il a des
tripes" (as in the culinary frorm "Tripe and onions").
So you can't really make a pun, unless you say, " tripes et boyaux. "
Even then the following is a little strange, but not impossible :
"Pas de gloire sans jouer tripes et boyaux"
"Pas de gloire si on ne joue pas tripes et boyaux".
"Pour la gloire jouer tripes et boyaux"
At least that is my impression.
No guts no glory

But that misses the Lute meaning of "gut" doesn't it?
What's that in Latin?
