Le Dauphin de la Mer natif,
Ayant prins en elle substance

Ne pensoit point estre apprentif,
En son amour & accointance:
Or sent il or’ son inconstance,
Gisant au soleil sur la greve.
Ce n’est donc estrange sentence,
Quand la fausse Mer l’homme greve.[1]
commentaires.
Le Dauphin, poisson de mer tresprompt & viste,
fut par une grande & estrange
tempeste, poussé &
jecté sur le cailloueux rivage. Si la mer est si cruelle &
desnaturee, qu’elle
traicte ainsi ses propres citoyens &
habitans, que peuvent esperer ny attendre d’elle les
povres hommes?
