Summary[edit]

Description
English: Text on the above image in one version of the Vox Clamantis reads "I hurl my darts at the world and I shoot my arrows; Yet where there is a just man, no arrow strikes. But I wound those transgressors who live evilly; Therefore, let him who is conscious of being in the wrong look to himself in that respect."[1]:342 Macaulay claimed the picture has less claim to be considered

an authentic portrait than those of the Cotton and Glasgow manuscripts.[2]
Latin text, transcription: 

Ad mundum mitto mea iacula, dumque sagitto;
At vbi iustus erit, nulla sagitta ferit.
Sed male viventes hos vulnero transgredientes;
Conscius ergo sibi se speculetur ibi.

Latin text, translation, d.lib.rochester.edu : 

I send my darts at the world and simultaneously shoot arrows;
But mind you, wherever there is a just man, no one will receive arrows.
I badly wound those living in transgression, however;
Therefore, let the thoughtful man look out for himself.
