tetrastichon.
Navis ut in pelago vix sistitur ampla profundo,
Hanc faciat quamvis anchora iacta gravem:
Saepius in magna curarum mole, videmus
Vel ratione graves sic titubare viros.

quatrain.
Quand la nef est en perilleux naufrage,
L’anchre ne peut bien souvent l’arrester:
Semblablement, voyons maint homme sage
En grand hazard de Fortune douter.
