Folle despence destruit le maison
mais prudence l’enrichist.

La prudence & raison
Enrichist la maison,
Mais despence excessive:
La rend povre & chetive.
De Diogenes & d’un gourmand.
UN gourmand dissippa son bien
Si bien, qu’il ne luy resta rien,
Dont escheust que de faim extresme:
Il devint languissant & blesme.
Un soir esperant se souler
Voulust à la taverne aller:
Ou (pource qu’il ’avoit pecune)
On ne luy bailla chose aucune:

Lesquelles presques avallees,
Ce qu’il ne pensoit luy advint,
Car Diogenes là survit
Qui luy ha dit (en souzriant)
Entens à moy povre friant,
Si disné eusses de cecy:
Tu ne soupperois pas ainsi.
Monstrant qu’il faut toute saison
Prudemment regir sa maison,
Et que despence mesuree:
Fait le bien de longue duree.
