Nihil negligendum.
Nothing should be neglected.
Ad Ioannem Listhium Secretarium Caesar.[1]
Qui dira que lon puisse arester la galere
Qui par la forte rame, & un vent fort cholere
Au plus haut de la mer se conduist vistement?
La chose plus petitte aucunnefois est forte
Et sans y prendre garde on faict en telle sorte
Qu’un oeuvre le plus grand s’arreste entierement. Link to an image of this page [O1v p210]Le petit retardeur subitement arreste
Le cours d’une navire en plaine mer subjecte,
Et l’empesche souvent à son plus grand mal-heur.
Il faut donc que celluy qui conduit un affaire
Prenne garde sur tout, voyant ce que peut faire
Un poisson qui n’a pas demi-pied de longueur.
1. János Liszthy (or Listhi): Bishop of Veszprem, then of Györ; Imperial Chancellor, 1554-1567, and Hungarian secretary in the Hungarian court chancellery in Vienna (d. 1577).
