To the blind, all things are dark
Le clair soleil ny la torche en la main
A un aveugle en rien n’est proufitable,
Le livre ouvert aussi tient il en vain:
Car il ne sait si c’est mensonge ou fable.
Cecy vous soit donques à tous notable,
Qu’à l’oeil obscur tout est obscurité.
L’ignorant donc ne doit estre croyable:
Car il ne voit goutte à la verité.
