Che un dotto non dee biasimar l’altro.
A learned man should not reproach another.
Deh, perche Progne la Cicala, tanto
Crudel rapisci? Se
pennuto uccello
Sei tu con l’ali, č anchor’ella
altretanto.
Se canti sovra
un tenero arboscello,
Et ella ingombra il cielo del suo canto.
Et č grato
a chi l’ode
e questo e quello.
Dunque lascia la preda, che non dei
Uccider cosa, a cui compagna sei.

EMBLEMA LVI.
Doctos doctis obloqui nefas esse.
It is wicked for scholars to wrangle with other scholars
Quid rapis heu Progne vocalem saeva Cicadam,
Pignoribusque tuis fercula dira paras?[1]
Stridula stridentem, vernam verna, hospita laedis
Hospitam, & aligeram penniger ales avem?
Ergņ abiice hanc praedam, nam Musica pectora summum est.
Alterum ab alterius dente perire nefas.
Alas, Procne, why, cruel bird, do you sieze on the melodious cicada and prepare a dreadful banquet for your young? A whistler yourself, you harm the shrill singer; a summer visitor, you hurt another fine-weather caller; a guest, you harm a guest; a feathered bird, you hurt another winged creature. So let this prize go. It is the greatest sin for hearts devoted to the Muses to perish by one another’s tooth.

Das LVI.
Es ist ein schandt und unstandt das gelehrt
Leut einander ubel nachreden.
Ach Progne warumb reistu weck
Also grassz die schreyend Heuwschreck
Und bereitst unbarmhertzger weiß
Deinen jungen ein greuwlich speiß?
Bschedigstu ein Sommer Vogel
Und Gast dem Fettichn deß Stimm hel?
Der du selbs bist ein Vogel ring
Und Sommer Gast singst das erkling
Derhalben wirff den Raub hindan
Dann es ist ein groß laster than
Das ein Singer vom andern nem
Ein schaden und umbs Leben kem.
