MARQUE & DIVISE DE
L’IMPRIMEUR
DE TRAVAIL HONNEUR.[1]
Perse vinqueur du dangier perilleux,
Porte le chef Meduse merveilleux.
Qui transmuoit les regardans en pierre.
Estant armé (pour faire aux monstres guerre)
De la cuyrace à Pallas bien duysant:
Et son escu cristallin treluisant.
Ayant en main le trenchant Bracquemard
Du Dieu Mercure. & son double plumard,
En teste, & piedz, auquel son vol hazarde
A monter hault: & dessoubz soy regarde
Les hommes bas, par merveille estonnez:

Si fort, qu’en pierre estre semblent tournez.
Qu’est cela donc? c’est que quand Sapience
Prouvée à clair par ague eloquence,
A mis à l’air quelque parfaict ouvrage:
L’ors son auteur leve en si hault parage:
Que tout humain est ravy à le croire,
Acquise ainsi vient du labeur la gloire.
1. The Lyonnais printer, Macé (or Mathias) Bonhomme.
