Sur la trop hastive mort, d’ung
beau jeune filz.
Apostrophe, ET Prosopopoeie.
L’enfant plus noble, & plus beau de la ville,
Qui par beaulté attira mainte fille,
Trop tost est mort. Par toy (Arest) fort plainct.
Auquel il fut par chaste amour conjoinct,
Donq’tu [=Donq’ tu]
luy fais tombeau: signe de tant
Grande douleur, par tel cry l’air batant.
Sans moy t’en vais: plus ensemble n’irons,
(Mon bien aimé) plus n’estudierons.

En terre iras. Mais Gorgonne, & Daulphin
Signes donront de ta piteuse fin.
Deploration de l’amy mort, en la
personne de l’aimant, constituant
pour memoire les daulphins, amis
de l’homme pour l’Amour: & la te
ste Gorgonne, ostant le sentiment,
& mouvement, pour la Mort.

Le terme.[1]
Ung fort Perron quarré est mis en terre,
Et demy homme entaillé sur la pierre.
Qui dict qu’a nul ne cede, tant est ferme,
Le but auquel tous tendent: C’est le terme:[2]
Link to an image of this page [N3r p197]
Le jour prefix immuable se treuve,
Et la fin, faict du commencement preuve,
terme est le dernier but, & extreme
fin & bourne de toutes choses, oultre le-
quel on ne sauroit plus reculer. Par-
quoy les anciens en feirent ung dernier
Dieu, qui à Jupiter mesme ne voulut ce-
der, l’image duquel Erasme avoit en son
signet: avec la devise, nulli cedo,
a nul ne cede, assez peu modeste,
Ce que modestement semble icy estre
noté.
