"Something really bizarre: a newly written Latin text in hexameters, set to music as a Portuguese Fado. It is about avarice, wich was a deathly sin in medieval times, and is considered a virtue today. From the album [http://songs.dalitio.de/cd/ "Wo kann die Nachtigall noch singen"]."

¶Lyrics / Text

Héu avarítia, ólim peccátum mortále putáta, Ét erat túnc interdíctum ut fénerarétur usúris. Díves a fáucibus Tártari póterat númquam servári, Nísi ob páuperis préces cleméntia éi dabátur. Héu, avarítia hódie vírtus praeclára vidétur, Ét fenerátor susúrrat regéntibus léges in áures. Díviti lícet dirípere páuperem scrúpulo núllo, Quía per mánum mercátus malígnum mutátur in bónum. Sócietátis progréssus miráculum nóbis donávit: Fácile pótest transíre camélus per ácus forámen.
