Reconnoistre le bienfaict.
V.
La Cigoigne en espoir estant,
Que ses petits mis hors d’enfance,
Luy rendront du plaisir autant,

Car au temps que plus force n’a,
On luy fournit vol & pitance.
Ainsi prend ce qu’elle donna.[1]

image de charité: car comme elle a esté nourrie par
ses parents, aussi les nourrit-elle en leur vieillesse, &
les portes & les soustient sur ses
aisles. C’est pourquoy sur
les sceptres des Rois on souloit mettre la Cigoigne, à
fin de les faire souvenir de la charité & justice qu’ils
doyvent à leurs peuples.
