huius se specie mendax Bellona coaptat, non ut avara lues, sed Virtus parca putetur; nec non et tenero pietatis tegmine crines obtegit anguinos, ut candida palla latentem dissimulet rabiem, diroque obtenta furori, quod rapere et clepere est avideque abscondereparta, natorum curam dulci sub nomine iactet.
With this Virtues likeness the false Bellona equips herself, so as to be thought not a greedy pest but a thrifty Virtue. With a delicate covering of motherly devotion she hides her snaky tresses so that the white mantle shall disguise the raging that lurks beneath and screen the fearful fury, and so display her plundering and thieving and greedy storing of her gains under the pleasing name of care for her children.
