XVIII.
EN tel estat que voyez, noz ancestres,
Dame Venus, jadis voulurent paindre.
Bien cognoist on, que les souverains maistres
En la faisant, ne se voulurent faindre.
Et pour l’effet du sens mistique attaindre,
Par la Tortue, entendre est de besoing,
Que femme honneste aller ne doibt pas loing
Le doigt levé, qu’ŕ parler ne s’avance.
La clef en main, denote qu’avoir soing
Doibt sur les biens du mary, par prudence.
