Sur la foy de Mariage.[1]
La femme aupres de l’homme, à dextre assise:
Le chien aux pieds. C’est de Foy la divise.
Lesquelz, s’ilz sont par ardeur maintenus:
Soit un Pommier, Pommes sont à Venus.

Ainsi vinquit Atalante[2] Hippomane,
Et son amy frappa la blanche Dame.
Au Mariage de l’homme, & de la femme
est Amour, & foy, desquelles le signe
est le chien fidelle, & bien aimant
son mai-
stre. Et pource que souvent cest Amour,
& Foy conjugale, est entretenue par la
charnelle conjonction des corps: Pour-
ce bien y advient ung pommier, avec ses
fruictz. Car la Pomme est dediée à Venus,
à qui la pomme d’or fut adjugée, & Hip-
pomanes vinquit la belle Atalante à la
course, par le gect des pommes d’or, & la
blanche Galathée frappoit de pommes
gettées son amy par lascive, & attrayan-
te mignardise.
