La perte de l’ung, est le profict de l’aultre.
Ung fier Lyon, & ung Sanglier frendent
Faisoient mortel combat à gryphe, & dent.
Le vaultour vint les veoir: & en print joye:
Car l’ung ou l’aultre occis, sera sa proye.[1]
Cecy semble estre dict des Princes Chre-
stiens, faisans la guerre l’ung à l’aultre, & du
Turc, qui ce pendant regardant le debat,
prent le fruict de
leur perte, usurpant tous-
jours sur la Chrestienne Europe.
