LES VIEUX SOIENT SUPPORTEZ
PAR LES JEUNES.
Le bon cheval, qui a passé les picques,
Qui a vincu les Tournois Olympicques.
Quand il est vieil, & foible devenu:
Ce non-obstant il est entretenu
Par son Seigneur, qui pour passe service
Luy faict de vie, &
sejour benefice.
Tant qu’il repose apres ses longz travaux:
Porté en char par les jeunes chevaulx.
Lequel honneur, digne de tel cheval,
Feit Alexandre à son bon Bucephal.
De combien plus Raison juste admoneste,
Que bons vieillardz (qui ont leur eage honeste
Menée à fin, & mains labeurs
portez)
Soient en repos des jeunes confortez.
