Ic soude gherne dichten die waerheit,/ Van vele dinghen bewisen onderscheit./ God hulp mi alle dinc wel verssinnen,/ Dat ic al dinc also moet beghinnen/ ...

ABSTRACT
Diatribe or satire in a South Brabant dialect, starting with a prayer. The poem discusses the shortcomings of the christians, and criticizes popes, abbots, priests, landlors, misers, ... The author predicts a change in the near future. The poems come to an end very abruptly, without closing formulas. According to R. Lievens, the poem is incomplete, or maybe the copyist threw it up. The poem was entitled 'Tegen de tamboers' by R. Lievens, on the basis of verse 232.
