TextTRIPLUMColla jugo subdere curias sectari quarum sunt innumere clades mores rari potens suo vivere debet exequari aliena desere quadra convivari pane tuo vescere tibi dominari si vis et effugere curis lacerari malo fabam rodere liber et letari quam cibis affluere servus et tristari aulici sunt opere semper adulari fictas laudes promere lucraque venari ab implumis tollere plumas et conari dominis alludere false commentari ve quibus huc pungere verbaque subduntur "Nulla fides pietasque viris qui castra secuntur". MOTETUS Bona condit cetera bonum libertatis qui gazarum genera tot thesaurisatis multiplici fallera vos qui falleratis et cum libet ubera fercula libatis si vivere libera vita nequeatis numquam saporifera servi degustatis vinci auri pondera sue potestatis esse vobis funera servi propinatis mala per innumera dum magis optatis. TENOR Libera me, Domine. TranslationTRIPLUMTo pursue the courts. whose disasters are innumerable. whose customs are unnatural. is to curb one's neck under a yoke. He who is able to live on his own is to be extolled: you should leave other people's things alone to feast on a morsel. to live off a loaf of bread. You should be your own master if you wish to escape being torn by cares. I myself prefer nibbling on a bean. happy and free. to growing fat on rich foods and being an unhappy servant. Courtiers are always ready to fawn during their rounds. to express false praise and to seek out benefices; they strive to steal the feathers from the unfledged. to mock their masters (secretly) and to spread false rumours. Woe to those who have done these things at court and of whom these words can be said: "There is neither faith nor piety in men who follow camps". MOTETUS The blessing of liberty gives birth to other blessings. You who pile up all manner of treasure. who bedeck yourselves with many jewels and indulge in sumptuous feasting when it pleases you: if you are unable to live a free life. if your life is without flavour it is because you taste it as servants. (The free life) deprives the weight of gold of its power to be the death of you. Like servants you give toast to innumerable ills. while always hoping for more! TENOR Release me, o Lord.
