Corvus Corax - Vitium In Opere

[AtomicExplosion95695]

Disputat cum animo facies rebellis, Mel ab ore profluit, mens est plena fellis; Non est totum melleum, quod est instar mellis, Facies est alia pectoris quam pellis. Vitium in opere, virtus est in ore, Tegunt picem animi niveo colore Membra dolent singula capitis dolore Et radici consonat ramus in sapore Vitium in opere Divites divitibus dant, ut sumant ibi, Et occurrunt munera relative sibi. Lex ista celebris, quam fecerunt scribe: "si tu michi dederis, ego dabo tibi."

@windswept23 I'll give it a try. Vitium in Opere- Sin in Deed The rebellious face disagrees with the soul From the mouth flows honey, the mind is full of bile; What seems sweet is not fully honeyed The heart's appearance is different than the skin's. In their deeds there is vice, in their mouths virtue They cover the soul’s tar with snowy complexion; Each limb suffers by the anguish of the head And the branch agrees with its root in flavor. (cont. in next post)

[opaquemoth]

The rich give to the rich, that thereupon they may receive

And gifts will come relative to each other;

Frequent is that law, which they have caused to be written:

“If you give to me, I will give to you.”
