Qui de soy cuide entendre & bien ouir
La voix de Dieu, n’a rien que fol penser:
Tous sommes sourds, dont ne savons jouir
Du doux accord qu’en nous veut compasser,
S’il ne luy plaist de son sainct doigt percer
Jusques au fond l’oreille interieure,
Lors l’entendrons & l’orrons sans cesser.
Qui n’a ce don, tousjours sourd il demeure.

SED EX ME

But from me

A disembodied hand sticks a finger into the ear of a disembodied head of a man.

xcv.

Divinos tota ad monitus onsurduit auris,
Heu, nimis humanis obruta deliciis.
Sed Deus ut sordes digito submoverit uno,
(Cui soli haec virtus) efficiet patulas.

The ear is completely deafened to divine warnings, alas! blocked by too many human pleasures. But God so that he might remove the dirt with one finger (this power is his alone), caused them to be open.
