ABUNDABIT INIQUITAS
REFRIGESCET CHARITAS[1]
Iniquity shall abound, love shall wax cold
Ce vase pleine de toute iniquité,
La beste aussi & celle qu’elle porte,
Ont tresfort refroidi charité
Par leur poison, qu’on la tenoit pour morte:
Mais une chose y a, qui nous conforte,
C’est que prochain est Christ, où elle abonde.
Ja sa clarté nous apparoit si forte,
Qu’elle destruit les tenebres du monde.
