XXVIII.
JEu de Fortune, est tant impetueux
Que les plus haults, souvent elle renverse:
Mais l’homme saige, en ses faictz vertueux,
N’est point subject à sa fureur perverse.
Car nonobstant qu’elle soit trop diverse,
Contre vertu n’ha vigueur, ne puissance.
Par la Tortue en avons demonstrance,
Qui sur son corps porte cocque si dure,
Qu’elle ne crainct des mousches l’insolence:
Car, pour sa cocque, ont trop foyble poingture.
