You wretches, detestable on land and sea,
you who seek equality with lords,
are unworthy to live!
Give this message to your colleagues,
Rustics you were and rustics you are still.
You will remain in bondage not as before,
but incomparably harsher.
For as long as we live,
we will strive to suppress you,
and your misery will be an example in the eyes of posterity.
