IDOLORUM SERVITUS[1]
lit. ‘serving idols’ but mistranslated (in the Bible) as ‘Idolator’
De tout son coeur le veau d’or elle adore
Ceste affamee & source de tout vice,
Qui des humains ames & coeurs devore
Par deux [=doux]
attraits & subtile malice.
Or qu’idolatrie, au vray, soit avarice,
Sainct Paul le dit: dont l’avaricieux
Du ciel ne peut voir l’entree propice:
Car ses thresors ont aveuglé ses yeux.
Notes:
1. Ephesians 5:5
