    The bees pillage the flowers here and there but they make honey
    of them which is all their own; it is no longer thyme or
    marjolaine: so the pieces borrowed from others he will transform

    marjolaine: ainsi les pieces empruntees d'aultruy, il les
    transformera et confondra pour en faire un ouvrage tout sien.]

Defacing first, then claiming for his own.

that it becomes impossible even for the author himself to
recognize his own work, his own genius, and his own style, so
skillfully shall the whole be disguised.
