Contre felicité peu durable.
PROSOPOPOEIE.
Aupres d’un pin une cocourbe creut,
Et largement fueilles, fruyct, & fleur heut.
L’ors quand du Pin, les branches surpassoit:
Plus que tout arbre estre grande pensoit.
Le Pin luy dict. Ta gloire est par trop courte:
L’hyver viendra qui te destruira toute.
La gloire fondée sur choses peu durables, est vanité,
ou vaine gloire, qui tombe incontinent en honte, &
despris, comme se glorifier de beaulté, qui tost deflo-
rit: de sante & richesse,
que tost perit: d’estat, qui ne du
re gueres, & du quel facilement on peut estre demis.
