Marque de Concorde.
Corneilles ont merveilleuse concorde,
Leur foy jamais d’ensemble ne discorde.[1]
Sceptres des Roys portent de telz oyseaux,
Car par accord Princes sont bas, ou haulx,
Lequel tollu discordes, & desroys,
Viennent soubdain, tirans la mort des Roys.
C’est ce que Micipsa en Saluste dict, que par concor-
de les petites choses croissent. Et les grandes (com-
me Royaumes & Roys) deschéent par discorde.
1. See Aelian, De natura animalium 3.9. on the mutual love and loyalty of crows.

Reconnoistre le bienfaict.
V.
La Cigoigne en espoir estant,
Que ses petits mis hors d’enfance,
Luy rendront du plaisir autant,
Met peine à leur donner substance:
Dont ils font grand’ reconnoissance:
Car au temps que plus force n’a,
On luy fournit vol & pitance.
Ainsi prend ce qu’elle donna.[1]

image de charité: car comme elle a esté nourrie par
ses parents, aussi les nourrit-elle en leur vieillesse, &
les portes & les soustient sur ses
aisles. C’est pourquoy sur
les sceptres des Rois on souloit mettre la Cigoigne, à
fin de les faire souvenir de la charité & justice qu’ils
doyvent à leurs peuples.
