INVIA VIRTUTI NULLA EST VIA [1]
: For virtue there is everywhere a way
Cest homme icy, selon qu’il s’achemine,
Monstre qu’il veut à vertu parvenir,
Marchant en mer, la roche brise, & mine
Pour son chemin applanir & unir.
Celuy qui veut jusques à Christ venir,
Doit tout ainsi par actes vertueux
S’acheminer, & de foy se munir,
Pour rendre aisé ce roc tant perilleux.
Notes:
1. Ovid Met. XIV.113
