Consilium.
Counsel
Sans loy rien nest perdurable,
Ny sans l’estude honorable.
Par conseil il faut s’armer,
Et en paix se gouverner.
Sa fin bien tost viendra prendre
Ce que voudras entreprendre
Si sans conseil tu le fais,
Soit en la guerre ou en paix.
Par luy la vraye doctrine
De la saincte loy divine,
Et l’art que la guerre suit
Plus sagement se conduit. Link to an image of this page [C2r p35]La maison bien ordonnee
Par conseil est gouvernee:
Par le conseil seulement
L’on y vit plus seurement.
Si soigneux tu ne prens garde,
Un accord gueres ne tarde,
Lequel subitement sort
De rancune & de discord.
La rioteuse querelle
Quasi se faict immortelle
A l’heure que deux amis
Se declarent ennemis.
Au grand Pericles l’Attique
Donna le sceptre bellique,
Et Sparte aussi l’a donné
A Sophocle & a Tyrté.
O paix tu es bien meilleure
A l’endroict ou tu demeure,
Tu es seule le desir
D’abondance & de plaisir.
Sans toy le champ inutile
Demeureroit infertile,
Par toy à l’esprit fàché,
Le plaisir est relàché.
Puisse donques tousjours vivre
De Cadme le docte livre
Et les muses, & tous ceux
Qui en seront soucieux.
