"Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori" means "How sweet and noble it is to die for one's country".
It was originally written by the Roman poet, Horace. It was subsequently, and possibly is better known as being, used in Wilfred Owen's poem "Dulce et decorum est" when he refers to the phrase as "the old lie".
Adding "non" to the end of the Latin phrase would make it into "dog Latin" and it would read "how sweet and noble it is to die for one's country - not!".
