Caelum, non animum mutant.[1]
They change their skies, but not their thinking.
Le ciel & le chemin ont bien peu de puissance
Au changement des meurs: nature a ce pouvoir
Encore que souvent on puisse apercevoir
Quelques uns se changer par nouvelle accoinctance.
Bien qu’un tygre ou lion ne face demourance
Aux bois, ou aux deserts, si les peut-on bien voir
Choleres & cruels ne changer de vouloir,
Mais plus tost augmenter de fiere outrecuidance
Je sçay bien qu’il est bon de voir les nations
Pour cogmoistre tout homme & toutes factions.
Personne toutesfois ne donnera l’addresse
Si bien à ton profit que ton pere, esperant Link to an image of this page [O1r p209]Qu’apres t’avoir apris, il ira retirant
Un bon & ferme appuy pour passer sa vieillesse.
1. Horace, Epodes, 1.11.27.
