Contre les flateurs.
Chameleon tousjours baille en allant,
L’air (d’ond il vit) prend,[1] & rend anhelant.
Change de peau: & quelque que ce soit,
(Fors rouge, & blanc,[2]) toute couleur recoit.
Ainsi flateurs d’air populaire vivent.
Devorent tout: & seulement ensuyvent

Les meurs du Prince obscurs de vice inique
Fors rouge, & blanc d’innocence pudicque.
Le Chameleon petit animal vivant seul-
lement de l’air, & se changeant en tou-
tes couleurs sinon rouge, & blanc: repre
sente le flateur, qui se conforme aulx
meurs du Prince, sinon aulx meurs d’in-
nocence, & vergoigne pudicque, vertuz
signifiées par le blanc, & le rouge.
