LE CONTINUER PARFAICT
L’OEUVRE
Quest il plus dur que roche bise, ou pierre?
Qu’est il plus mol que l’eau coullant sur terre?
Et toutesfois par gouttes d’eau versées,
Les roches sont, & les pierres persées.
Et tout ainsi que goutte d’eau menue
Perse un gros Roch, par estre continue:
Semblablement un labeur assidu,
Faict, & parfaict, tout, & le residu.
