Epidemiae potior causa
The cause of the epidemic is better
Ad Ioannem Baptistam Razarium.[1]
Le docte Homere à descrit
Une perte qui surprit
Les bons soldats de la Grece,[2]
Par qui lon vid longuement
Mourir miserablement
Une part de la noblesse.
Phoebus estant couronné
Avoit ses rayons poussé
Parmi la plaine aéree:
Aussi peut-il secourir,
Et parfaictement guerir Link to an image of this page [F3r p85]La peste desesperee.
De ce que les animaux
Sentirent premiers les maux
De l’estrange maladie
Avant que de se làcher
Dessus l’homme, & le toucher
De ceste peste ennemie.
Cela advint pourautant
Que l’homme va surmontant
Les bestes, qui contre terre,
Ont le col baissé tousjours,
Où de la peste le cours
Le plus souvent se reserre.
Pour n’estre doncques surpris,
Il faut lever noz esprits
Vers Dieu qui a la puissance
De nous sauver & garder,
Et aussi de retarder
De ce mal la violence.
