L’entendement est plus ŕ priser,
que la beaulté.
Un fin Regnard chez un jongleur entra,
Ou une teste humaine rencontra,
Faicte, & polie, en forme si nayve,
Qu’il n’y falloit que l’ame: au reste vive.
Quand il la tint, il dist ce mot nouveau.
O quel beau chef: mais point n’ha de cerveau.[1]
La parolle de ce regnard (qui signifie quelque fin
homme) se peut adresser ŕ maintz, & maintes per-
sonnes, qui ont belle forme, & apparence d’homme:
mais au dedans sont de nul sens, & raison.
1. See Phaedrus, Fables 1.7; Aesop, Fables 43.
