Moker: Decalogus metricus et paraenetica disticha


Decalogus metricus et paraenetica disticha by Anton Moker (1573)

This is wonderful collection of distichs in both Latin and in German, organizing according to the Biblical Ten Commandments. For example, on the theme of "non occides," there is this distich: Non hominem quemquam debes occidere namque / qui necat ense fero, rursus is ense perit.
