Pièce latine 3 : Fraus fraudula venit fraudulenter (MCCXCIV)

Autre Balade en latin
                        Fraus fraudula venit fraudulenter
                        Fraudulare fraudentes ad patrem,
                        Qui, fraudando tam unus quam alter,
                        Defraudantur in fine per artem.
5                      Lex divina dixit Christus autem :
                        Qui gladio percussit latenter,                                                            352a
                        Gladioque lege veraciter
                        Periuntur. Vitare fraudantem.
                        De gladio non acuto tantum
10                    Intelligas, sed pocius quantum
                        De quocumque dampnali peccato
                        Fuerit cor corpusque gravatum.
                        Finietur, eritque dampnatum
                        Pari forma. Nunc, miser, memento
15                    Emendare in melius cito.
                        A viciis cesset incrementum.
                        Nam Perilus arte quam fecerat
                        Ad tormenta tunc exitaverat
                        Cicilie Fallarys tyrrampnum,
20                    Et ex ere taurum sufflaverat,
                        Ut humana vox se mutaverat
                        In bestiam que regis animum
                        Hujus artis esset durissimum
                        Cruciando quos detinuerat.
25                    Et quamvis hoc sic proposuerat
                        Invisens judicum justum[1],
                        Perilo tunc fraus fecit expertum.
                        Arte sua tauro dampnaverat,
                        Et periit sicut juris erat :
30                    Quod omnibus sit nobis exemplum !
