PLUS LE FOL EN HAULT ESTAT
MONTE:
TANT PLUS MANIFESTE SA
HONTE.
Le singe assis en geste, & contenance,
D’homme rassis a forme, en convenance.
Mais plus s’eleve, & se monstre en appert:
Plus Singe il est: & plus le cul luy pert.
Tels sont les gens brutaux, d’homme masquez,
Plus es honneurs sont haux, plus sont mocquez.
Car l’homme sot, montant ou il ne doibt:
Plus hault est mis: & plus beste on le veoit.
