Chasser paresse.
XIV.
Voisent au loin gents paresseux:
Dieu ne les a point pour amis:
Dont Pythagoras blasme ceux,

Qui sont sans art, & endormis:
Car, tout au rebours des formis,
Ne gaignent que pour un jour vivre:
Comme s’on leur avoit promis,
Que santé les doit tousjours suyvre.

Choenix, dont Alciat parle au premier vers de cest
Embleme, estoit la mesure du froment qu’on
mesuroit
tous les jours aux serviteurs. Pythagoras defendoit au
paresseux, qu’il ne s’assist point sur le Choenix, vou-
lant dire, qu’il faut tousjours avoir
souci de l’adve-
nir: qu’il ne faut point s’addonner à oisiveté, mais
qu’il faut que chacun gaigne sa vie par son industrie
& par son travail.
