De Maialibus festis.


CAP. X.

                                        DEMVM omnibus tam sylvis, quam pratis, & campis virescentibus,
                                        & florescentibus, sole per Cancrum transeunte,
                                        hoc est in Vigilia Natalitii ortus divi Ioannis Baptistæ, Aestas media die S. Io. Baptistæ.
                                        (quem diem miris festivitatibus servabat antiquitas, celebrique
                                        cultu posteris servandum docuit, & præcepit ) populus
                                        omnis vtriusque sexus & ætatis, turmatim in publicis
                                        plateis vrbium, aut planitie camporum, vbique copiosis
                                        accensis ignibus, pro choreis tripudiisque exercendis,
                                        concurrere solitus, vetustorum heroum domi, forisque magnifica
gesta vbilibet in orbe peracta, saltando decantat: etiam quid illustriores fœminæCantilenæ heroum canuntur.
pro æternis assequendis laudibus, amore servandæ pudicitiæ perfecerunt. Præterea
quid degeneres, ignavique nobiles, crudeles tyranni, & turpes fœminæ exclusaTyranni crudeles.
honestate fecerunt, patriis cantionibus, & rhythmis sonantibus citharis, ac
tibiis alternatim adductis, exoluunt. Insuper puellæ matrum doctrina præmonitæ,
quot quantaque mariti vitia, in lusibus alearum, rixa tabernarum, luxum vestium, Vitia maritorum.
societate scurrarum, & continua ebrietate, & crapula exerceant, psallendo resoluunt.
Sed rursus ingeniosiores adolescentuli concinere norunt, quam pigerrimæ, fallaces,
indomitæ, rixosæ, garrulæ, nugaces, & infidæ sunt mulieres, ne sola querela maritosVitia mulierum.
sugillent. Deinde quid perfidi cives, versuti artifices, vagi negotiatores, stertentes
nautæ, rusticique infideles, & astutissimi proditores, ac blandiloqui adulatores, Vitia communia.
& avari, crudelesque terrarum præfecti efficiunt, varietate cantionum, & musicis instrumentis
exponunt: ea potissimum ratione permoti, vt tenera juventus
agnoscat, quam excelsa, ac splendida virtus sit, æternisqueVirtus splendida.
laudibus digna, bonorum inhærere vestigiis, & ab
pessimis resilire, ac præcavere exemplis.
