Quelque mal advenant: pour le
mauvais Voisin.[1]
Prosopopoeie.
Deux potz portoit
ung torrent, L’ung d’airain,
L’autre de terre estoit faict à la main.
L’ung l’aultre prie estre à soy secourant:
Pour tous deux joingtz arrester l’eau courant.

Dist cil de terre. A toy venir n’hay cure.
Ton voisinage honte, & mal me procure.
Si toy vers moy, ou moy vers toy l’eau porte:
Frais le rompray: & tu demourras forte.
A plus puissant que soy ne se fault
adjoindre: Car l’infortune adve-
nant, le foible, & povre se ruyne, &
le fort & riche se saulve. Le Tor-
rent est le cours, & la Fortune de
ceste vie, le pot d’airain le riche: &
le pot de terre le povre.
