AVARITIA

Greed: Whene'er venality prevails, / Then avarice rules and justice fails.

L'Avarice: Au juge il graisse la patte / Et donc la justice rate.

"L'Avarice" (Greed) makes use of telltale dynamic contrasts, pompous dotted rhythms, and polyphonic intrigue to paint a picture of deceit, venality, and injustice, inspired by the underhanded magistrate in Bosch's image who secretly takes a bribe and undermines justice.
