EMBLEME XII.
Le douere d’une femme.
La Spartienne Venus
Avoit les pieds retenus
D’un sep dont elle estoit prise:
Un beau voille luy cachoit
Les deus yeus, & si estoit
Dedans une chaire assise.
La chaste honte, & l’amour
Ou Constance faict sejour
Siet bien à la femme sage:
De soigneusement garder
Elle doibt bien regarder
Sa maison & son ménage.
