Spes simul & Nemesis nostris altaribus adsunt,
Scilicet ut speres non nisi quod liceat.[1]
Hope and Retribution stand together beside the altar I have built, to ensure that you hope only for that which is allowed.

Nec verbo nec facto quenquam
laedendum.
Injure no-one, either by word or deed.
Assequitur, Nemesisque virum vestigia servat,
Continet & cubitum duraque frena manu.
Ne malè quid facias, néve improba verba loquaris:
Et iubet in cunctis rebus adesse modum.[1]
Nemesis follows on and marks the tracks of men. In her hand she holds a measuring rod and harsh bridles. She bids you do nothing wrong, speak no wicked word, and commands that moderation be present in all things.

Aucun nest a blesser par faict
ou par parolle.
Nemesis suyt les pas des gens,
Tenant son coulde, & une bride:
Ou sont significatz urgens:
Car le frain a droict moyen guyde,
Voulant que ta langue soit vuyde,
De injures & motz de insolance:
Et son bras quelle tient solide,
Defend mal fait & violence.
1. This epigram is based on Anthologia graeca 16.223-4.
