LV.
A Un cheval, soubdain & tout d’un coup,
Qui veult le poil de la queuė arracher,
Est temeraire, & n’avance beaucoup,
Car ne parvient ą ce qu’il veult tascher.
A homme fol l’on fait son frain mascher,
Et ne parvient ą son intention.
L’homme prudent en moderation,
Ce qu’il pretend, fait successivement:
A l’homme fol precipitation,
Donne travail, & peu d’avancement.
