LVIII.
HOmme qui ha pour vivre à l’avantaige,
Et suyt la court, pour gloire, & vanité,
Semble au Lyon qui se rend en servaige,
Qui d’un filet est en captivité.
Pour peu de cas est en perplexité,
Ou il pourroit en liberté se mettre.
Il ayme mieulx estre valet que maistre:
Combien qu’il peult tost rompre le filet.
En liberté nature le fit naistre:
Mais vain espoir l’arreste, au lieu qu’il est.
