VENGENCE.
Juste Vengence.
PROSOPOPOEIE.
En son creux roch Polypheme assis, chante
Entre son parc, ceste chanson meschante.
Brebis mangez l’herbe, & je mangeray
Les Graecz. Utis dernier devoreray. Link to an image of this page [N8r p207]Oyant cecy, Ulysses l’oeil luy creve.
En fin L’auteur du mal, ha peine greve[1].[2]
Polypheme Geant Cyclope, ayant ung grand
oeil au front, grand pasteur de l’Isle de Sicile
au long de la mer, print Ulysses, tous ses
compaignons pour les devorer, promettant
manger Ulysses le dernier: pource qu’il luy
avoit baille du vin. Ce que voyant Ulysses
(qui s’estoir [=estoit]
surnommé utis, c’estadire en Graec
nul) le feit tant boire de vin, qu’il s’endor-
mit: & lors Ulysses d’ung tison ardent luy
creva son oeil. Parquoy de la douleur se es-
crya un tant horrible cry, que tous les aul-
tres Geans Cyclopes du mont ardent
Bolcar Gibelin l’ouyrent: & vindrent, luy deman-
dans qu’il avoit ainsi aveuglé: lors il respon-
dit Utis, qu’est à dire nul. Parquoy eulx pen-
sans qu’il fust devenu fol, sen allerent rians,
& se mocquans, & le laisserent. Par laquelle
fable Homere donne à entendre, que les mau
vais mangeurs de peuple, estans privéz de la
lumiere de ce monde, souffriront la peine de
leurs malfaictz, & de nul ne seront secouruz,
mais de tous mocquéz, & confuz.
