I.
Embleme.
LE dieu Janus jadis à deux visaiges,
Noz anciens ont pourtraict, et tracé:
Pour demonstrer que l’advis des gents saiges,
Vise au futur, aussi bien qu’au passé.
Tout temps doibt estre en effect compassé,
Et du passé avoir la recordance,
Pour au futur preveoir en providence,
Suyvant vertu en toute qualité.
Qui le fera verra par evidence,
Qu’il pourra vivre en grand’ tranquilité.
