VI.
Lon peut parler avec merveilles
De la paix que chacun void estre
Entre la turbe des Corneilles,[1]
Qui n’ont jamais valet ny maistre:
Pource les peind on sur le sceptre,
Que le peuple ostoit & :
Auquel quand discorde vient naistre,
Tout se perd, chacun le connoit.

Les Corneilles gardent & observent fort estroite-
ment la foy & amitié entre elles. Que si l’une meurt,
soit masle ou femelle, l’autre
demeure vefve jusques à
la mort. C’est pourquoy on leur fait accompagner les
sceptres, pour monstrer que les Princes ne subsistent
que par le consentement, union, & amour de leurs
peuples. S’il survient discorde entre eux, tout l’estat
se deperit & dissippe. S’ils vivent en
amitié, & avec
le respect, qui est deu des uns aux autres, rien ne les
peut esbransler ny .
