This Martin, from what we hear,
Excells in all branches of learning:
He abandons not the pure Gospel.
Luther has confused the minds of many;
One says that only Christ can pardon us,
Another that Paul III and Clement may.
There are those who pull and those who yield,
Who speak the truth, who lie through their teeth.
All desire that the council take place
Only to clarify these heresies now:
The hot sun melts the snow,
So may God any evil thought
