Secours jamais ne defaillant.
PROSOPOPOEIE.
Estant pressé tant par mer, que par terre
D’ung seul harnois j’ay saulvé double mort,
Car mon bouclier m’ha couvert en la guerre:
En mer pery m’ha porté jusqu’a bort.[1]
L’escu de guerre es anciens estoit si grand: qu’il
couvroit tout l’homme, & avec icelluy povoit
on passer une riviere. Comme feit Alexandre
ne sachant nager. Par lequel escu est representé
ung bon amy, jamais ne defaillant, en quel-
que affaire que ce soit.
