Il se fault endurcir contre les ad-
versitez presentes.
Apostrophe.
Contre la charge hault la Palme s’eleve
Et croist tant plus, que sa charge est plus greve,[1]
Glandz odorans portant, & delectables,[2]
Ayans l’honneur premier es bonnes tables.
Or monte (enfant) es rameaulx le fruict pris:
Car Qui sera constant: aura le pris.
Pour quelque adversité, ou contrarieté qui advien-
ne, point ne fault laisser une bonne entreprinse, Mais
perseverer constamment jusque à fin heureuse.
1. The reaction of palm to a heavy weight is mentioned in various ancient sources, e.g. Pliny, Natural History 16.81.223; Aulus Gellius, Noctes Atticae 3.6. See also Erasmus, Parabolae p.263. It probably refers to a plank of palm-wood, rather than a branch of the living tree.
2. See Erasmus, Parabolae p.241: ‘the palm-tree, having bark with knife-sharp edges, is difficult to climb, but it bears delicious fruit’.

Concorde.
VI.
Lon peut parler avec merveilles
De la paix que chacun void estre
Entre la turbe des Corneilles,[1]
Qui n’ont jamais valet ny maistre:
Pource les peind on sur le sceptre,
Que le peuple ostoit & :
Auquel quand discorde vient naistre,
Tout se perd, chacun le connoit.

commentaires.
Les Corneilles gardent & observent fort estroite-
ment la foy & amitié entre elles. Que si l’une meurt,
soit masle ou femelle, l’autre
demeure vefve jusques à
la mort. C’est pourquoy on leur fait accompagner les
sceptres, pour monstrer que les Princes ne subsistent
que par le consentement, union, & amour de leurs
peuples. S’il survient discorde entre eux, tout l’estat
se deperit & dissippe. S’ils vivent en
amitié, & avec
le respect, qui est deu des uns aux autres, rien ne les
peut esbransler ny .
