Satyra.

And the acts of the meetings of the princes of the Empire, published, as well as
The hundred Grievances written down by the German nation,
And he condemns holy books together with the wicked law
Of the Turks, and the trifles and Talmudic gibberish of the Verpae derogatory term for Jews,
And obscene jokes, which Poggius once wrote,
And the death of the Peregrinus by the Samosatenian Lucian of Samosata, and other
Shameful and magical books issued everywhere,
And with the stain of Servetus and the Anabaptists.
If he thought all men were donkeys and fungi,
And wanted to prescribe a norm to unlearned pigs,
What else would he do? If he wanted to show before the world
An immense hatred for Christ and the truth, and to hasten
The headlong ruin of his own affairs,
What else would the Roman court bring forth for us?
Does he thus think, with his barking three-throated maw,
That he will drive into rabies the peoples, and Kings and Dukes,
And the learned, whose great abundance is everywhere,
So many distinguished by miters, and Counts, and powerful men,
Who have purchased various books, and have equipped
Good libraries, a treasure for the comfort of the age
Of those coming after us, that they should lose all those volumes,
Make a loss of expense, and condemn much-approved
Writers, whom they, being marked, have printed?
He clearly thinks all men are fools, and ready
To follow him immediately in things speakable and unspeakable:
When they grieve that he becomes known to such a great world
Through his rabies, and the things committed to wicked monks.
