MARIAGE.
Sur la foy de Mariage.
La femme aupres de l’homme, à dextre assise,
Le chien aux piedz. C’est de Foy la divise.
Lesquelz, s’ilz sont par ardeur maintenus:
Soit ung Pommier, Pommes sont à Venus. Link to an image of this page [P7r p237]Ainsi vinquit Atalante[1] Hippomane,
Et son amy frappa la blanche Dame.
Au Mariage de l’homme, & de la fem-
me, est Amour, & foy, desquelles le si-
gne est le chien fidele, & bien aimant
son maistre. Et pource que souvent cest
Amour, & Foy conjugale, est entrete-
nue par la charnelle conjunction des
corps: Pource bien y advient ung pom
mier, avec ses fruyctz. Car la Pomme
est dediée à Venus, à qui la pomme d’or
fut adjugée, & Hippomanes vinquit la
belle Atalante à la course, par le gect
des pommes d’or, & la blanche Gala-
thée frappoit de pommes gettées son
amy par lascive, & attrayante mignar-
dise.
1. See Ovid, Metamorphoses 10.560ff. for the story: Atalanta would marry none but the man who could beat her at running. Hippomenes tricked her into losing the vital race by throwing down in turn three golden apples given him by Venus.
