St Roch. Hi quibus atra lues crudos depascitur artus, / Sollicitis Rochum certant invadere votis. / Nos, scelerum tabes animas dum mancipat Orco, / Heu male securi mortis joculamur in umbra. / Pour échaper à la mort temporelle / Voyez comme à St Roch chacun offre ses voeux / Insensez, nous touchons à la mort eternelle / Et nous ne respirons que les ris et les jeux. Rubens pinxit.
