Les prudents.
VIII.
Janus au double front, qui ce qui est
arriere
Connois, & l’advenir, vois devant & derriere,
Pourquoy as-tu tant d’yeux,
pourquoy plus d’un visage?
Pour figurer au vray l’homme prudent & sage.
Commentaires.
La prudence est necessaire à tous, mais principa-
lement aux Princes & aux Magistrats, qui se peu-
vent dire prudents, s’ils se representent les choses pas-
ees, & s’ils prevoyent celles qui sont à venir.

Contra los engañadores.
SEMIOTTAVA.
Aquella lagartija que es llamada
Stellio,[1] es d’el engaño conocida
Señal, y de la invidia en
si dañada,
De las zelosas nueras bien sabida.
1. Stellio, ‘the starred gecko’. See Ovid, Metamorphoses, 5.461 for the explanation of the name stellio.
