Armes & amours.
Le preux Hector, le beau Paris de troye
Jouent tous deux de harpe armonieuse,
Hector semond a guerre furieuse
Et Paris quiert esbat, soulas & joye.

DEdans le temps des dieux
En mainctz lieux
On a dressé les ymages
D’hector en choqz furieux,
Et de Paris gracieux
Tresjoyeux,
Deux renommez personnages,
L’ung chante les avantages
Les courages
Des preux en guerre ou assaulx,
L’aultre n’est pas de plussages
Qui chante en divers languages
Les oultrages
Qu’amour faict à ses vassaulx.
★ Ces ceux princes cy chantans
Sont notans
Qu’amour se joinct voluntiers
Avec les preux combatans
Qui sont guerre frequentans
En tout temps.
C’est l’ung des meilleurs sentiers,
Les nobles en tous quartiers
Mieulx d’ung tiers
Vallent quand sont amoureux,
Amour faict que les derniers
Sont aux combatz les premiers
Promptz, legers,
D’ung courage vigoureux.
1. Traditionally, Paris and Hector were put in contrast to represent on one side an amorous life, and on the other the glory of conquests, but here on the contrary Corrozet makes them agree. It is a topos of medieval courtly love that love gives courage to warriors.
