tetrastichon.
Ut nisi decussis à vento nubibus, antè
In caelo nusquam sydera clara micant:
Sic nec virtutes mortalis possidet ullus,
Ni mentem vitiis exuat ille priùs.
Unless the wind first blasts the clouds apart, nowhere on earth do the bright stars shine: so no mortal will have virtues unless he strips his mind of faults before.
quatrain.
L’on ne peut veoir les astres clairement,
Sans que le vent ayt déchassé les nues:
Vertus ne sont aussi semblablement
(Sans déchasser les vices) obtenues.
