* Iuramenti of the oath, It is not understood regarding the oath taken in baptism, by which one renounces Satan and his arts. But regarding that extorted in schools, by which one swears by the words of the master.

But * iuramenti of the oath, I ask, remember yourself.
Everyone praises your book because it sets forth
The lofty words of the thundering God, whom all beauty adorns.
Those things surely flourish, worthy of cedar tablets
And the eternal harvests of your history.
The arts you reject, you embrace the court itself
You praise the words of God in your own denied manner.
Lighter, O brother, spare the present pen
* Numine divinity/spirit, perhaps by his own evil Genius:

Perhaps I am moved by a direct * numine spirit.
Indeed, even evil demons are sometimes called spirits by poets.

OF THE REVEREND

FATHER BROTHER AURELIUS

of Aquapendente, Augustinian, an Epigram,

against Busconus the Louvain versifier.

HE is a light trifler, and he does not know how to stay through everything,
But he carries his petulance into every kind.
