La Courge d’un seul grain venue,
Le long d’un haut arbre monta:
Et fait tant qu’elle est parvenue
Si haut qu’elle le surmonta.
Lors fut tout l’arbre se jacta:
A quoy l’arbre la portant dit,
L’hiver qui vient une mort a,
Qui effacera ton credit.
commentaires .
La courge, qui aime à monter, estant plantee au-
pres du pin, arbre treshaut, grimpa à l’entour de son
tronc & de ses branches, & fit tant qu’elle vint au
sommet de l’arbre, voire le surmonta. En estant là ve-
nue, elle fut si maladvisee &
outrecuidee, qu’elle d’es-
tima estre plus vaillante & plus excellente qu’au-
cun autre arbre. Tu te vantes trop tost,
belle dame, luy
dist le pin: l’hiver est à la porte,
lequel te flestrira
& tuera en moins de rien. Les richesses & autres
prosperités
terriennes n’ont pas lettres de durer plus
que la courge. Un feu, un naufrage, un sac de ville, &
autres pareils accidents, peuvent rendre aujourd’huy
belistre celuy qui hier estoit, grand riche & haut
monté.
