Le Terme.
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:[1]
Le jour praefix immuable se treuve,
Et la fin faict du commencement preuve.
Terme est le dernier but, & extreme fin &
bourne de toutes choses, oultre lequel on ne
sauroit plus reculer. Parquoy les anciens en
feirent ung dernier Dieu, qui à Jupiter mes-
me ne voulut ceder, l’image duquel Erasme
avoit en son signet: avec la devise, nulli
cedo, a nul ne cede, assez peu mo-
deste, Ce que modestement semble icy estre
noté.
