Contre felicité peu durable.
PROSOPOPOEIE.
Aupres d’ung pin une cocourbe creut,
Et largement fueilles: fruyct, & fleur heut.
L’ors quand du Pin les branches surpassoit:
Plus que tout arbre estre grande pensoit.
Le Pin luy dist. Ta gloire est par trop courte:
L’hyver viendra qui te destruira toute.
La gloire fondée sur choses peu durables, est vanité,
ou vaine gloire, qui tombe incontinent en hont, &
despris comme se glorifier de beaulté, qui tost deflo-
rit: de sante & richesse, que tost perit, d’estat, qui ne du-
re gueres, & duquel facilement on peut estre demis.
