Les sages.
Probleme.
Jan a deux chefz, temps passé, & suyvant
Voyant derriere, ainsi comme devant.
Pourquoy has tu quatre yeux, double visage?
Est ce pourtant que tu fuz homme sage?
La Sapience est au chef, & Pource l’homme a deux
testes, represente le sage: qui ha memoire du pas-
sé, & providence de l’advenir.
