Pour celluy qui ne scet flater.
Veulx tu savoir, Pourquoy c’est que Thessaille
D’ung duc, ą aultre, ainsi souvent tressaille?
(C’est qu’a flater elle n’ha point apprins ce,
Lequel vice est en toute court de Prince,
Mais comme ung noble, & bon cheval, met bas
Son chevaucheur qui regir ne scet pas)[1]
Point toutesfois cruel ne soit le maistre,
Ung mors plus dur pour vengence doibt estre.
Les rebellions populaires viennent par
mauvaise administration des Princes.
Notes:
1. See Plato, Politicus 261d for the image of the ruler as supervisor of a stud of horses.
