EMBLEME XLIIII.
La fourchee de Vertu & de Vice.
Deus femmes à l’entour d’Hercule l’indompté
Taschent de le tirer, chasqu’une à son coste [=costé]
:
L’une est pleine d’amour, l’autre est toute hideuse:
Ainsi Vertu nous tire en son chemin estroict,
Et le Vice nous pousse hors le sentier tout droit,
Pour nous faire noyer en l’eau delicieuse.
