Amour, prenant le doux miel de l’abeille,
Fut par icelle asprement poind au doigt:
Il pleure, il crie, il trepigne,
on luy void
L’ongle s’enfler, il se plaind à merveille,
S’esbahissant, &
trouvant trop extreme,
Qu’un animal si petit puisse tant
Faire douleur. Et toy, petit enfant,

Luy dit Venus, fais tu pas tout
de mesme?
Bleçant si fort, par ta cruelle audace,
Grands & petits en ceste terre basse?
commentaires.
Amour, petit enfant, s’estoit approché des abeilles,
pour leur desrobber leur miel, les
estimant oiselets be-
nins & aimables. Mais estant
incontinent blecé fort
douloureusement par l’une d’icelles au bout du doigt,
portant fort impatiemment la douleur, il se plaint,
il trotigne, il enrage, & en fin retourne tout court pleu-
rer vers sa mere, monstrant son doigt tout enflé, &
se plaignant fort de la poignante piqueure de ce petit
oiselet. Auquel Venus sousriant respondit, Tu imites
cest oiselet, mon fils: car toy, qui es si petit, ne laisses
pas de faire de grandes, dangereuses, & cruelles
playes aux mortels. Amour, quoy qu’il semble petit,
ne laisse pas bien souvent d’exciter de grands maux.
1. 3rd-century BC bucolic poet, who may or may not have wrriten the Idylls (19, The Honey Stealer).
