Les sages.
PROBLEME.
Jan a deux chefz, temps passé, & suyvant
Voyant derriere, ainsi comme devant.
Pourquoy has tu quatre yeulx, double visage?
Est ce pourtant que tu fuz homme sage?
La Sapience est au chef, & Pource l’homme a deux
testes, represente le sage: qui ha memoire du passé, &
providence de l’advenir.

Los prudentes.
Ottava rhima.
Jano que de dos rostros guarneçido
Entiendes lo pasado y venidero,
Y como ves lo que te es offrecido
Burlas ansi de lo que fue primero,
Por que con tantos rostros te han fingido?
Por aventura es por que el hombre entero
Y sabio ha de ser tal que juntamente
Vea lo por venir y lo presente?
