Avaerice.
APOSTROPHE.
Tantal mourant de soif pres la fontaine
Prendre ne peut la pomme à luy prochaine.
Ce nom changé, de toy (Avare) est dict,
Qui has grandz biens, & n’en prens pas le fruict.
Les Avaricieux hont leur enfer des ce monde,
damnez (comme Tantal) à ne povoir jouyr, &
user des biens, au mylieu desquelz ilz sont
plongéz.
