XXXIIII.
LE Rossignol, de nature, ha la grace,
Que tous oyseaulx surmonte en harmonie:
Tant se parforce à chanter, qu’il trespasse,
Pour ne vouloir que sa voix soit honnie.
Maintz bons espritz ont telle felonnie,
Par le desir d’estre souverains maistres,
Tant sont apres les proses, & les metres,
Et de scavoir ont si fervente envie:
Que par vouloir trop se fonder aux letres,
Finablement ilz y perdent la vie.
