Hazientes y consentientes, pena por igual.
Ottava rhima.
Prendiò la gente en guerra vençedora
A un trompetero de la adversa parte,
El qual se escussa, desculpa, y implora
Que nunca exercitò el sangriento Marte.
Por eso (respondiò
la gente) aora
Ten menos esperança de librarte,
Pues que sin pelear à que arremeta
Mueves la gente al son de la trompeta.[1]
1. This is based on Aesop, Fables 325.

Maturandum.
Making good speed
LII.
Maturare iubent properè & cunctarier omnes,
Ne nimium praeceps, neu mora longa nimis.
Hoc tibi declaret connexum Echeneide[1] telum,
Haec tarda est, volitant spicula missa manu.
Everyone tells us to deal with things quickly, but they also tell us to hold back - not to be impetuous, nor yet to wait too long. A missile linked with a sucking-fish can demonstrate this for you: the fish is slow, but arrows fly fast when they leave the shooter’s hand.

LII.
Ein gmain sprichwort ist, eyl mit weyl,
Gar kunstlich hye gezaiget an,
Der fisch Remora umb ein pfeyl
Gewunden, gibt es zu verstan:
Des fisch natur ist stiller stan,
Der pfeyl ferd schneller dann der wind,
In allen sachen mittel han,
Hayst nit zu spat, und nit zu gschwind.
1. ‘linked with a sucking fish’. The sucking-fish (echeneis or remora) was a creature believed by the ancients to have the power of slowing the course of ships to which it attached itself. See Pliny, Natural History 32.1.2-6. He describes it as about six inches long and like a slug. See also [A42b049].
