Dessus est Dieu marin, dessoubz poisson,
Par le milieu d’ung serpent embrassé,
Qui mord sa queue, en un rondeau dressé.
Renom suyct gens ou noble esprit abonde,
Et leurs beaux faictz, fait lire en tout le monde.[1]
Le Triton marin designe haute eloquence, & pro-
fonde science, le rond & en soy revolu serpent, eternité, la
conque ou il corne, Renommée. Par lesquelles choses est
signifiée eternelle renommée de science, & d’eloquence.
