EMBLEMA XV.
Iniustè partis opibus si fortè beatos
Putas avaros, falleris.
Epotis avidè lymphis quis posse beari
Hydropicos existimet?
If by chance you think the greedy/misers with riches gained unjustly are happy/ blessed, you would be wrong. Who would consider that people with dropsy, with water swallowed down greedily can be happy/blessed?
