VICES SURVENANS CHASSANT
LES VERTUS NAYVES.
En noz Espritz, Vertus blanches, & nues,
Sont de Celeste origine venues.
Mais puys apres,
qu’and [=quand]
de la terre sortent,
Vices couvers, & noirs, qui armes portent:
L’ors les vertus s’en revolent au lieu
D’ond elles sont descendues, c’est Dieu.
Car un contraire, à son contraire nuict.
L’un chassant l’autre, ainsi que jour la nuict.
Cela se faict qu’and Rage d’Avarice,
(Qui de tous maux est racine, & nourrice)
Faict que sans plus L’homme en terre regarde.
Et d’elever sa teste au Ciel le garde.
