SIi les Lyons que l’on pend en Affrique,
Font grand frayeur, & peur à leurs semblables:
N’aura pas peur un gros larron publique,
Ou thesorier, de ses faictz execrables?
Maintz en sont mortz au gibet, miserables,
Et les plus grandz ont commencé la dance.
Gardent soy doncq’ pour peur de la cadence,
Leurs successeurs, d’estre comme eulx meschants:
Car aultrement hault en plaine evidence,
Seront logez, comme evesques des champs.
