Vitium in Opere - Corvus Corax, Ingeborg Schöpf, Klaus Lothar Peters

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.»

He argues with a rebellious spirit

Honey flows from the mouth, the mind is full of gall.

There is no honey that is like honey

Face is different from breast than skin

The fault is in the worker, the virtue is in the soul

They cover the pitch of the soul in a snowy color

Single limbs ache headache

And the raison d'être agrees

Disability in work

The rich give to the rich, to spend there

When tasks occur relative to each other

This famous law, which they did write

"If you give it to me, I will give it to you."
