ASTINENZA.
ABSTINENCE.
Qui il Principe si lava ambe le mani
Per
demostrar, che chi governa e regge
Conven, c’habbia
i pensier candidi e sani,
Perche non vada mai zoppa la legge,
Che, com’ella
s’inchina
e torce un
poco,
Honestà, ne ragion non ha piu loco.

Le devoir des bons Juges.
LXXXVIII.
De marbre une colonne en un tumbeau dressee,
Que tu vois d’une aiguiere
& d’un seau entouree,
D’un juge entier & droit le sepulcre revele,
Qui les mains pures eut, & l’ame nette & belle.
Commentaires.
Le seau & l’esguiere sont le
vray symbole d’un
juge entier & droiturier: car, estans mises sur son se-
pulcre, elles tesmoignent
son equité & innocence en
l’administration de la justice. Quand ces vertus sont
en un juge, elles le rendent fort recommandable: mais
si elles n’y sont, il ne le faut plus tenir pour juge, mais
pour un impie & cruel bourreau. Un Juge se doit per-
petuellement souvenir, qu’il a Dieu pour juge, de
l’oeil duquel il ne se peut cacher. Le lavement des
mains estoit autresfois un ouvert tesmoignage d’in-
nocence. On dit que ceux ont les mains pures, qui
ont passé leur vie en toute integrité & droiture.
