QUI PERD L’OCCASION,
tard se repend.[1]
COmbien d’hommes perdus pour avoir negligé
Le temps idoine, & propre, ont attaint de miseres!
Combien d’ennuys, de maux, & de peines severes
Ont le gendre mortel pour ce point affligé!
Humain chestif humain, le bon heur assiegé
Eschappera du clos ou foible tu l’enseres,
Il ne peut estre pris: tes forces sont legeres,
Si de l’occasion tu ny [=n’y]
es soulagé.
Elle est chauve pourtant, & sa prise est fortuite.
Parù qu’lle [=qu’elle]
a, soudain elle se met en fuite
Si par le crin frontal on ne vient l’attrapper.
Happe la donc à temps, & fuys la penitence
Qui d’un foüet noüailleux de tarde repentance,
Gesne l’homme fetard, qui la laisse eschapper.

Ad Abrahamum Fabrum Typographum.[2]
a tergo calva est.
From behind she is bald.
ARripe, se quoties offert occasio: calva est
A tergo: & volucri labitur illa pede.
Ponè sequens torto sequitur Metanoea flagello:
Et tantùm ignavis poena dolenda venit.
Grasp [her], if ever Occasio/opportunity offers herself: she is bald from behind: and she glides on winged feet. Following behind, Metanoea/repentance pursues with whip brandished: and grievous punishment comes only to the slothful.
