Il fault aller, ou Dieu nous appelle.
En trois chemins est sur une Montjoye
D’ung demy Dieu l’Image, monstrant voye.
Tombeau Mercure.[1] Or coronne le Dieu
Qui te radresse (O passant par ce lieu)
Par les chemins doubteux de vie allons
Et si Dieu n’est la guyde, tous faillons.
En tous actes fault suyvre bonne Na-
ture pour guyde. Qui est l’ordonnan-
ce, & vocation de Dieu.
Notes:
1. Mercury was, among his many other functions, the god of travellers.
