XXVII.
LE roy d’eschetz, pendant que le jeu dure,
Sur ses subjectz ha grande preference:
Si l’on le matte, il convient qu’il endure,
Que l’on le mette au sac, sans difference.
Cecy nous fait notable demonstrance:
Qu’apres le jeu de vie transitoire,
Quand mord nous ha mis en son repertoire,
Les roys ne sont plus grandz que les vassaulx:
Car dans le sac (comme à tous est notoire)
Roys & pyons en honneur sont esgaulx.
