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.

Mesdisance.
LXVII.
D’Archiloque[1] au tumbeau la guespe
est engravee,
Pour monstrer que sa langue estoit envenimee.
Commentaires.
Archiloque fut si picquant & mordant en sa
poësie, que par ses poignants jambes il contraignit
Lycambe, son beau pere, de
s’aller estrangler. De là
est venu qu’on a appelé Archiloques tous ceux qui
ont escrit d’un stile ainsi venimeux. Les guespes sont
engravees sur son tumbeau, non seulement pource
qu’elles sont enrouëes & mordantes, mais aussi pour-
ce que d’elles on ne tire ny plaisir ny proffit.
1. Archilochus was an eighth-century BC poet, author of much (now fragmentary) verse, including satire. This last was considered in antiquity to be excessively abusive and violent. See Horace, Ars Poetica, 79; also Erasmus, Adagia, 60 (Irritare crabrones).
