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.

REFRIGESCET CHARITAS
Iniquity shall abound, love shall wax cold (Matthew 24:12)
lxviii.
Jam fuerat divinus Amor restinctus iniquo
Hoc vase, et lerna hac, quae vehit, et vehitur,
Ni prope sit Christus: cujus de lumine, tetrae,
Tamquam Sole nouo, diffugiunt tenebrae.
At this time divine love had been extinguished by this wicked vase, and by this monster, which both carries [it] and is carried, unless Christ is near, from whose light, as if from a new Sun, the foul darkness flees.
