Pour celuy qui ne scait flater.
Veulx tu savoir, Pourquoy c’est que Thessaille
D’ung Duc, à aultre, ainsi souvent tressaille?
(C’est qu’a flater elle n’ha point apprins ce,
Lequel vice est en toute court de Prince,
Mais comme un noble, & bon cheval, met bas
Son chevaucheur qui regir ne scait pas.)[1]
Point toutesfoys cruel ne soit le maistre,
Ung mors plus dur pour vengence doibt estre.
Les rebellions populaires viennent par
mauvaise administration des Princes.
1. See Plato, Politicus 261d for the image of the ruler as supervisor of a stud of horses.
