Quelque mal advenant: pour le
mauvais Voisin.[1]
PROSOPOPOEIE.
Deux potz portoit ung torrent, L’ung d’aerain
L’autre de terre estoit faict à la main.
L’ung l’aultre prie estre à soy secourant:
Pour tous deux joingtz arrester l’eau courant. Link to an image of this page [N5r p201]Dist cil de terre. A toy venir n’hay cure.
Ton voisinage honte, & mal me procure.
Si toy vers moy: ou moy vers toy l’eau porte:
Frais le rompray: & tu demourras forte.
A plus puissant que soy ne se
fault adjoindre: Car l’infortune
advenant, le foible, & povre se
ruyne, & le fort & riche se saul-
ve. Le Torrent est le cours, & la
Fortune de ceste vie, le pot d’ae-
rain le riche: & le pot de terre le
povre.
