Sur L’obliance du Pays.
APOSTROPHE.
Tu has long temps, tes parens, & amys,
Et ton pays laisséz, en obly mis.
Tu es à Romme, & ne te chault au reste
De retourner. L’honneur Rommain t’arreste.
Ainsi les gens d’Ulysses hont quicté
Duc, & pays: ayans du Lot gousté.[1]
La ou est le bien, la est le Pays, Car la doulceur d’ung
pays estrange, faict oblier le sien propre. Comme les
Compaignons d’Ulisses quand ilz furent au bon pays
des Lotophages: la volurent demourer sans retour-
ner en leur rude pays de Itacque.
1. See Homer, Odyssey 9.83ff. for the story of Ulysses’ crew (men from the island of Ithaca) in the land of the Lotus Eaters, where those who ate the lotus had no more thought of returning home. See Erasmus, Adagia 1662 Lotum gustavit.
