Consuetudo prava.
Bad habit
On suit tousjours la coustume mauvaise,
Tant est mauvais l’entendement humain.
Avec le fer on va couppant le pain,
Qui autrement se peut couper à l’aise,

Car il est tendre, & voit-on toutesfois
Qu’avec les dents on va cassans les noix.
Cela s’est faict par longue accoustumance,
Je le sçay bien, mais si la verité
Nous regardons, qu’est-ce que vanité?
Ainsi voit-on par bonne experience
Que dans le corps un mal ne vient soudain,
Mais peu à peu il se monstre inhumain.
