Contre les Retrayeurs de brigandz.

APOSTROPHE.

Larrons, brigandz suycte d’armes garnie
Te faict par ville (O Pompard) compaignie.
Ainsi prodigue estre anobly tu penses
Par telz mauvais. qui suyvent pour leurs panses:
Puys qu’ainsi has prins cornes: De tes chiens
Mangé seras, comme Acteon des siens.[1]

On fainct Acteon avoir esté mué en cerf, & mangé
par ses propres chiens. Ainsi ceulx, qui pour contre-
faire les nobles, entretiennent espadaciers, & levent
les cornes d’oultrecuidance, deviennent serfz à leurs
gens, & leur bien est finalement par iceulx consommé.

Notes:

1.  For the story of Actaeon turned into a stag and killed by his own hounds, see Ovid, Metamorphoses 3.138ff. Similarly, the hangers-on will destroy the one who has fed them.

Contra los que se acompañan de rufianes.

Ottava rhima.

Gran summa de ladrones te acompaña
Scęva, y de coraçon muy generoso
Te piensas, por hazer tan grande hazaña
Que no aya algun rufian ni hombre vicioso
Que luego no se halle en tu compaña.
As de ser como Actęon venturoso,
El qual en ciervo siendo transformado
De sus lebreles fue despedazado.[1]
