75

tetrastichon.

Dum furit incipiens vitae discrimine morbus,
Si sapiat Medicus pharmaca danda vetat:
Non dabit ad primos sapiens solamina fletus,
Ast ubi iam fractus coeperit esse dolor.

As an illness rages in the beginning rages, putting life at risk, a doctor, if he’s wise, will not allow medicine to be given. He will not give consolations to the first tears, but rather when the patient’s suffering begins to break.

quatrain.

Lors que le mal est en sa grand fureur,
Garde toy bien de donner Medicine:
Donner confort au temps de grand douleur,
N’est pas requis, ains quand le mal decline.
