EMBLEME XVI.
C’est folie de vouloir tout embrasser.
Pendant que les enfans se travaillent souvent
D’arester le [=la]
bouteille enflee par le vent,
Ilz ne tirent sinon que leurs peines perdues:
Et je croy que l’homme est plus fol que les enfans
Qui va chassant apres les honneurs triumphans,
Ou qui trop entreprend d’affaires pretendues.
