Contre ceulx qui osent entreprendre oultre
leur force.

Quand Hercules dort soubz l’arbre, & repose,
Et soubz son bras armes, & masse pose,
Des nains armée à le tuer s’efforce,[1]
Mal cognoissans leur trop petitte force:
Luy esveillé, comme petitte pulce
Dedans la peau du Lyon les repulse.[2]

À plus fort que soy ne se fault prendre.

Notes:

1.  Hercules’ confrontation with the pygmies is described by Philostratus, Eikones 2.22.

2.  The skin of the Nemean lion which Hercules always wore after slaying the beast. CHECK (See [A58a130], notes; [A58a170]).
