Che dalla guerra procede la pace.
From war comes peace.
Ecco, chel’elmo, onde
l’soldato
armato
Spargendolo di sangue altrui feria,
Hora del’Api
è fatto
albergo gratto.
E dentro il mel si patorisce e cria.
Pongansi l’arme, fuor
che alhor che giace
Morto il riposo, e non di gode pace

De Guerre Paix.
XLV.
L’armet d’un hardi chevalier
En temps de paix fut de repos,
De mouches à miel un millier
Link to an image of this page [E1v p66]
L’ont trouvé pour elles dispos:
Tost y ont faict leurs petits pots,
Mettans miel, où mit sang la guerre:
Soit donc guerre hors de tous propos,
Si force n’est pour paix acquerre.[1]
commentaires.
Le heaume, qui est icy pourtaict [=pourtraict]
, servoit en guerre
au furieux gendarme, & souvent a esté arrosé
du sang de l’ennemi: le mesme heaume, en temps de paix
a esté faict le receptacle
de la ruche des mouches à
miel, & en lieu de sang, a esté empli de miel & de ci-
re. Ainsi, du lion rugissant & devorant, que Samson
avoit deschiré, sortit de tresdoux miel. Jectons donc au
loing, & abominons les cruelles & pernicieuses guer-
res, & ne prenons jamais les armes, si ce n’est quand
il est force à fin de pouvoir parvenir à une paix.
1. Cf. Anthologia graeca, 6.236, where bees nest in what were once the beaks (projections at the prow) of war-galleys.
