NATURE.
La vertu de Nature.
Pan (C’est Nature) on honnore en tout lieu
Demy-bouc homme, & homme demy-Dieu:
Des le nombril au dessus, il est homme,
Du coeur au chef. Car raison monte en somme. Link to an image of this page [H4r p119]Bouc au dessoubz: Car Nature aeternelle
Tous animaulx faict par couple charnelle,
Et commune est à tous brutz celle arsure,
Or est le bouc enseigne de Luxure.
Au chief, & coeur, Prudence tient maison,
Mais au dessoubz n’est moyen ne raison.
Tres bel Embleme, donnant à entendre
l’homme estre de diverses natures, se-
lon ses diverses parties superieures, &
inferieures, C’est à savoir divine &
raisonnable: & humaine au dessus. Be-
stiale, & diabolicque au dessoubz: Et
pource l’homme estre en Nature tout.
que les Grecz dient Pan. Et le figu-
rent demy homme, & demy bouc.
