tetrastichon.
Ut nequit in proprio fuerit cùm corpore discors
Reddere concordem, quam tenet iste chelyn:
Sic regere haud poterit populosam civibus urbem,
Cui non est propriae provida cura domus.
Like a man who cannot, when he is discordant in body, tune the lute he holds, returning it to harmony, so a man can hardly rule a city full of people who does not take proper and due care of his own house.
quatrain.
C’est bien en vain, quand d’accorder poursuys
Mon Luc, voyant que je suys phrenetique:
Si sot et fol en ma mayson je suys,
Seray-je sage au fait du bien publicque?
