Les prudents.
VIII.
Janus au double front, qui ce qui est
arriere
Connois, & l’advenir, vois devant & derriere,
Pourquoy as-tu tant d’yeux,
pourquoy plus d’un visage?
Pour figurer au vray l’homme prudent & sage.
Commentaires.
La prudence est necessaire ā tous, mais principa-
lement aux Princes & aux Magistrats, qui se peu-
vent dire prudents, s’ils se representent les choses pas-
ees, & s’ils prevoyent celles qui sont ā venir.

La hazienda d’el perdido.
Ottava rhima.
Entre altas sierras y peņascos duros
Lleva sus higos la sylvestre higuera,
Que los cuervos y grajas mal maduros
Comen, sin que aya de ellos valedera
Utilidad a’l hombre. Los impuros
Ansi dispenden con la placentera
Y desonesta gente lo hęredado,
Sin hazer bien ā pobre ni ā letrado.[1]
