EX CORPORE RUINA
Ruin from the body
Ce beuf est gras, & pourtant il se fáche
Quand l’aiguillon le pousse ŕ travailler.
L’homme enrichi ŕ bien faire est si láche
Qu’il ne vaut rien, si Dieu pour l’esveiller,
Ne vient ŕ poinct quelque coup luy bailler
De l’aiguillon d’affliction poignante,
Pour l’inciter ŕ prier & veiller,
De láche coeur se part l’ame dolente.
