In desciscentes.
On those who turn traitor
XI.
Qụd fine egregios turpi maculaveris orsus,
In noxamque tuum verteris officium,
Fecisti, quod capra, sui mulctraria lactis
Cùm ferit, & proprias calce profundit opes.[1]
Because you have spoilt your fine beginnings with a shameful end and turned your service into harm, you have done what the she-goat does when she kicks the bucket that holds her milk and with her hoof squanders her own riches.
1. See Erasmus, Adagia, 920 (Capra Syria), where the goat - of Syros, in the Aegean, not Scyros - is wild.

Del danno altrui altrui utilita.
From the harm done to one person comes advantage to another.
Il
leon, e’l
cinghiale a stretta guerra
Venner, con l’unghia
l’un, l’altro
col dente:
Sopravien, mira, e ben sa l’avoltore.
Ch’a
se fia preda, e gloria al
vincitore,
