FAICTZ DES JEUNES,
CONSEIL DES VIEULX.
O bien heureux Prince ou Roy couronné
Lequel se voit de force environné
De jeunes gens, & du conseil des vieux.
Mais au contraire, O le Roy malheureux!
A qui myeux plaict, de qui mieux est aimée
De jeunes gens une oultrageuse armée,
Et qui les vieux, sages, de bonne foy,
Et leur conseil, deboute d’avec soy.
Exemple en est Reboam, qui se vit
Presque privé du regne de David
Son pere grand, de dix lignes descreu:
Pour le conseil des jeunes avoir creu.
Le sage prince avoir doncque s’efforce
Conseil des vieux, & des jeunes la force.[1]
