Οὐ χρὴ παννύχιον ἕυδειν.[1]
One should not sleep all night etc.
Celuy qui s’est entremis
D’aller sur ses ennemis
Menant une grande armee,
Celuy la beaucoup ne dort
Mais tousjours premier il sort
D’une audace accoustumee.
Le Macedon vigilant
Beaucoup ne fut sommeillant,
Jamais il n’eut patience
Que la longue profondeur
Du somme par sa douceur
Luy trompast son esperance. Link to an image of this page [C1r p33]
Il alloit tendant la main
Plaine d’une masse ronde,
Et se reposant ainsi
Il ne charmoit son soucy
D’une paresse profonde.
Aussi fut-il d’un grand coeur,
Et digne de tout honneur
De triomphes & de gloires.
On dict que Jules fut tel,
Qui eust le nom immortel
A raison de ses victoires.
