EMBLEME XLI.
Retiens la langue.
Scythe, [1]pourquoy tiens tu avecque ta main creuse
Ton ventre paresseus & ton aine honteuse?
Pourquoy devant ta bouche as tu mis l’autre main?
Va fuyant la luxure & le soing de ta pance:
Retiens la langue aussi qui librement offence,
Et sois en ton parler gracieus & humain.
