24a Sadly opposing party with fund of wisdom?

ANSWER: con dolore

Now, I now its music played in a sad manner, thus sadly

also party = do

But what about the rest, and what has it got to do with 'fund of wisdom?'

Thanks for any help!

con (opposing
do (party)
lore (a fund of knowledge about a subject )

Sadly (Definition) opposing (Con) party (Do) with fund of wisdom (Lore)

Mamya and Jazzgirl, thank you both

I keep on forgetting that particular meaning of the word 'con'.
