N’entreprendre trop d’affaires à une fois.[1]
L’homme tresapre en son affection
Qui à la fois trop d’affaires assemble,
Sans jugement & sans discretion
Entreprenant tout ce que bon luy semble:
Scavez vous bien à qui cest qu’il ressemble
A un chasseur mal ruzé, non scavant,
Qui en chassant à deux lievres ensemble
N’en prend que l’un, & point le plussouvent.
