Les plus petitz sont aussi à craindre.
L’escharbot faict guerre à L’aigle, & l’assault:
Et moindre en force, en finesse plus vault:
Car dens la plume abscons de L’aigle mis,
Porter se faict au nid des ennemis,
Puys rompt les oeufz: gardant faons de croistre:
Ainsi s’en va, vengé se voyant estre.[1]
Mortelle Inimitie naturelle est entre L’aigle tresnoble
oyseau: & l’Escharbot tresvile, & orde beste, qui pour ven-
ger le despris de L’aigle, se cache en ses plumes, & porté
au nid, casse les oeufz, & empesche generation, & multi-
plication des Aigles. Par laquelle nature, on cognoit estre
vray ce qu’on dict. il n’est nul petit ennemy.

Hazientes y consentientes, pena por igual.
Ottava rhima.
Prendiò la gente en guerra vençedora
A un trompetero de la adversa parte,
El qual se escussa, desculpa, y implora
Que nunca exercitò el sangriento Marte.
Por eso (respondiò
la gente) aora
Ten menos esperança de librarte,
Pues que sin pelear à que arremeta
Mueves la gente al son de la trompeta.[1]
1. This is based on Aesop, Fables 325.
