Au Cigne.
Honneur nourrist les arts.
On ne veoit point le Cigne armonieux
Se mettre en train de chansons reciter,
Si le Zephire à souffler gratieux
Parmy les champs ne s’est pris à venter.
Qui voulut onc de letres meriter,
Et s’ingerer à doctement écrire,
S’i [=Si]
n’a le los qui le puisse inciter,
Et si l’honneur ne luy souffle & aspire.
