TranslationTRIPLUM The rooster (Gaul) chatters with bitter weeping; indeed the whole flock mourns, for it is stealthily being betrayed by the satrap even as it keeps watch. And the fox, like a grave-robber, flourishing with the cunning of Belial, reigns with the full consent of the lion himself. Alas, what anguish! Behold how the family of Jacob once again flees from another Pharoah: no longer able, as before, to follow the path of the Jews, it weeps. In the desert it is tortured by hunger, its arms and armour lack a helper. If it cries out it will be despoiled; the voice of the wretched exiles, near death, is harsh. O sad chattering of roosters! Since the blindness of the lion is subject to the shadowy deceit of the treacherous fox, whose arrogance encourages sin, you must rise up: otherwise what is left of your honour slips away and will continue to slip away: with only late avengers it will soon turn into villainy. MOTETUS My mind is bent to tell of bodies changed anew: that evil dragon whom glorious Michael once conquered thoroughly with the miraculous power of the cross, again is living, now fortified with the grace of Absalom, gloating with the eloquence of Ulysses, armed with the teeth of a wolf as a soldier in the army of Tersitis - in fact changed into a fox. Deprived of his sight by deceit, the lion is subject to this ruling fox, who sucks the blood of lambs, sates himself with chickens, and never stops; rather he thirsts on. He comes to weddings with his hunting dogs. Woe to chickens and woe to the blind lion; but in the end, woe to the dragon when he must face Christ! Text revision and translation © Alexander Blachly |
