Silence.
Fol se taisant, ne differe du sage:
De la follie est tesmoing le langage
Doncq’ par le doigt la bouche close, & mue
En Harpocras Aegyptien se mue.[1]
La parolle donne à cognoistre
la sagesse, ou la follie de l’hom-
me.
1. Harpocrates, also known as Horus, was the son of the Egyptian divinity Isis. He avenged the murder of his father Osiris by Set/Typhon. He is often represented as an infant with his finger held to his mouth as a sign of silence and economy of words. See Plutarch, De Iside et Osiride 68.
