Booty makes the thief, the assault that serves all evil helps him, and so does the pillage suitable for furious spoils.] “Wel aen ghÿ Spaerpotten, Tonnen, en Kisten Tis al om gelt en goet, dit striden en twisten Al seetmen v ooc anders, willet niet gheloven Daerom vueren wÿ den haec die ons noÿt en misten Men soeckt wel actie om ons te verdooven Maer men souwer niet krÿgen, waerder niet te rooven.” [Go to it, you money-boxes, barrels and chests. It’s all about gold and goods, this fighting and quarreling. Even if someone tells you otherwise, don’t believe it. Therefore we bear the hook which never has failed us. They try to find means to silence us, but they shall not find it unless there were nothing to rob.] English: The Battle of the Moneybags and the Strongboxes (also, The Fight Over Money) ???????: ????? ????????? ? ????????. c. 1558.
