Vitium in Opere [English translation]

The rebellious face1 disputes with the soul,2

Honey flows forth out of the mouth, the mind is full of bile;

Not everything is of honey that resembles honey,3

The face of the heart is different from that of the skin.

Flaw in the work, virtue is in the mouth,

They cover the pitch4 of the soul with snow-white color

Every single limb hurts due to the pain of the head

And the twig harmonizes with the root in its flavor

Flaw in the work

The rich give to the rich so they may take there

And gifts5 encounter each other6

That law is popular which they caused to be written:

"If you have given to me I will give to you."

1. or "The face of the rebel"2. or "heart" or "spirit"3. lit. "that is likeness to of-honey"4. in the sense of black resin5. or "duties" or "jobs"6. lit. "encounter regarding themselves"
