Contre les Courtisans.
Les Courtisans qu’entretiennent [=entretient]
vaine Court
En chaines d’or les tient liéz decourt.
La suite de Court est tres miserable/orig>,
& servile, mais ceulx qui y sont n’en
peuvent despartir, estants captivéz
par la merveille des riches, & magnificques choses qui la se voyent, &
jouissance, ou esperance d’icelles.

Avarice.
LXV.
Tantale en l’eau plongé, est
de la soif pressé.
Link to an image of this page [O8v p224]
Ayant pommes au nez est de faim harassé.
C’est à toy povre avare, à qui cecy
s’addresse,
Qui ayant tant de biens, en amasses sans cesse,
Qui souvent d’aspre faim &
grieve soif languis,
Ne voulant entamer tant de thresors acquis.
Commentaires.
La convoitise des biens mondains, si elle n’est as-
saisonnee de quelque contentement, est beacoup plus
dangereuse, qu’une extreme povreté. Tantale ne peut
appaiser sa soif, quoy qu’il soit entouré d’eaux:
ny
estaindre sa faim, quoy qu’il soit environné de pom-
mes. C’est le vray type des avares, qui se
rendans be-
listres en leur abondance, parmi leurs grands biens
souffrent les maux de la pauvreté.
