Latin text
Héu avarítia, ólim peccátum mortále putáta,

Héu, avarítia hódie vírtus praeclára vidétur,

English translation
Alas avarice, once considered a mortal sin,
And usury was in those days forbidden.
The rich could not be saved from the jaws of hell
Unless mercy was given to him for the sake of the poor's prayers.
Alas, today avarice is seen as an excellent virtue,
And the usurer whispers laws into the ears of the reigning.
The rich may plunder the poor without scruples,
Because through the hand of the market malign is turned into good.
Progress of society has brought us a miracle:
Easily a camel can go through a needle's eye.
