La paix en mariage.
Viriplaca estoit déesse à Rome[1]
Le temps passé dans un temple adorée,
S’il survenoit noise entre femme & homme
L’offence estoit en ce lieu reparée,
Et la fureur de l’homme retirée,
La femme aussi laissoit son amertume:
Or pleust à dieu qu’en france l’honorée
Un temple y eust servant à la couctume.
Notes:
1. Viriplaca was a form of Juno (viriplaca=placater of men), as restorer of peace in marriage. See Valerius Maximus, Factorum et dictorum memorabilium, 2.1.6.
