Parem delinquentis & suasoris
culpam esse.
The one who urges wrongdoing is as guilty as the one who does the wrong
LV.
Praeconem lituo perflantem classica victrix
Captivum in tetro carcere turma tenet.
Queis ille excusat, quòd nec sit strenuus armis,
Ullius aut saevo laeserit ense latus.
Huic illi, quin ipse magis timidissime peccas,
Qui clangore alios aeris in arma cies.[1]
The victorious troop holds captive in a foul dungeon a herald, who sounds military commands on his trumpet. To them he makes his excuses - he is no strong fighting man and has wounded no one’s side with a cruel sword. They reply: You abject coward, you are in fact more guilty, for you with the sound of your trumpet stir up others to fight.

Rat und that seind gleicher
verschuldigung.
LV.
Vonn feinden etwo gfangen ward
Ein trometer, und gstelt fur gricht,
Der sich entschuldigt solcher art:
Ich trag kain woehr die schneidt noch sticht,
Drumb hab ich ewch geschadet nicht.
Sagt man, nayn, durch die tromet dein
Kumbt das manch zager kecklich ficht,
Drumb ghoert dier sonder straff und pein.
