UN gros canon chargé de peu de pouldre,
Ne peult poulser le boulet si avant.
Moulin à voile oncques ne vistes mouldre,
Si d’un soufflet on luy baille le vent.
Cestuy propos te monstre, & fait scavant,
Qu’en toute chose il fault proportion.
Nature fait tout par discretion,
Comme maistresse, & mere d’artifice:
L’homme rassis ayant instruction,
Chose impossible, oncques ne meit en lice.
