The following macaronic epigram, however, shows that they were but too much addicted to the Amour Socratique: "Let a friar of some order tecum pernoctare Either thy wife or thy daughter hic vult violare, Or thy son he will prefer, sicut fortem fortis, God give such a friar pain in Inferni portis."
This is, at first view, an obvious, but, perhaps, for that very reason not the true sense of the inscription. How can we reconcile it with the following passage: "Nec fremere audebit Leo, sed violare timebit, Omnia consuetus Populari pascua laetus."
Omnia foedantes, Vitiantes, et spoliantes; Quanquam haud pugnaces, Ibunt per cuncta minaces, Fures absque timore, Et pingues absque labore. Horrida dementes Rapiet discordia gentes; Plurima tunc leges Mutabit, plurima reges Natio; conversa In rabiem tunc contremet ursa Cynthia, tunc latis Florebunt lilia pratis; Nec fremere audebit Leo, sed violare timebit, Omnia consuetus Populari pascua lætus.
The law of nature teacheth man to hold fast friendship and amity with his neighbours, forasmuch as he is animal sociale. Violare alterum, saith Cicero, naturae legae prohibemur. For the law of nature biddeth us do to others as we would have others to do unto us, Luke vi. 31.
