Contre amour, ou Amour de Vertu.
Dialogisme, En Prosopopoeie.
D. Ou sont tes arcz (Cupido,) & tes traictz,
Desquelz les coeurs des jeunes gens attraictz?[1]
Pourquoy tiens tu en ta main trois coronnes?
Pourquoy ton chief de la quarte environnes?
R. Je ne tien rien de commune Venus:
Plaisirs du corps de moy ne sont venus.

Mais feu j’enflambe es purs humains espritz,
De Sapience ą voler hault espris.
Et des vertus coronne [=coronnes]
quatre appreste,[2]
D’ond Sapience est premiere en la teste.
Platon ha fainct deux Venus, & deux Cupi-
do, ou deux Amours: c’estassavoir terrestres,
qui font aimer choses corruptibles, comme la
chair, les richesses, & honneurs mondains, Et
celestes, qui font aimer les choses aeternelles,
& pardurables, comme les Ars, & Sciences, &
les Vertus, qui sont en general quatre Cardi-
nales, desquelles la premiere est Prudence par
contemplation residente au chef: les autres
trois, Justice, Force, & Temperance, gisent en
action, & pource sont aulx mains.
