Contre les bougres.
Au faict villain, & au dire est estrange
Lascher son ventre au vaisceau ou l’on mange.
C’est exceder de saincte loy mesure,
Comme estre infect par inceste Luxure.[1]
Detestation de l’abominable peché contre Nature,
par comparaison semblable d’ung tresvillain faict.

EMBLEMA LXXXIII.
Adversus naturam peccantes.[1]
Those sinning against nature.
Turpe quidem factu, sed & est res improba dictu,[2]
Excipiat si quis Choenice ventris onus.
Mensuram legisque modum hoc excedere sanctae[3] est
Quale sic[4] incesto pollui adulterio.
It is certainly foul as a deed but also a wicked thing to speak of, if someone were to empty the burden of his bowels into a bushel-box. This means exceeding the measure and limit of divine law as it would be defiled by impure adultery.
Das LXXXIII.
Die wider die Natur sünden
Es ist ein scheutzlich that fürwar
Zu sagen ist es schendtlich gar

So einer wolt seins leibes noth
Empfahen in ein Korb mit brot
Das ist das einer uberschreit
Die maß und weiß die das gsatz geit
Als der sich beflegt und bemast
Mit unnatürlicher Liebs rast.
