tetrastichon.

Iunoni libans (cui vincla iugalia parent)
Fel removet quoties hostia caesa cadit:
Cur hoc? Coniugio bilis pellatur ut omni,
Semper & à casto sit procul ira thoro.

When sacrificing to Juno (whom marital bonds obey), one takes out the gall-bladder whenever a victim falls dead. Why? So that gall should be driven from all marriages always, and anger stay far from the chaste bed.

quatrain.

Quand l’on faisoit à Juno sacrifice,
Le fiel estoit tousjours mys à lescart,
Pour demontrer que toute ire et malice
Des vrays espoux doit estre mise à part.
