Minuit praesentia famam.
Presence weakens a reputation.
La neige ne fond pas sur un roc eslevé,
Bien qu’un soleil de pres en approche sa face,
Il faut pour sa vertu une certaine espace:
Car le chaut repoussé, plus fort est esprouvé:
Ainsi par la presence un bon bruict diminue, Link to an image of this page [D1r p49]Et à beaucoup servi la demeure incogneuë.
L’audace quelque fois l’ignare a descouvert,
Et ceux que nous disons amateurs de soy-mesmes:
Toutesfois il vaut mieux fuyant les deux extrêmes
Estre ny trop craintif, ny aussi trop ouvert.
Plusieurs qui de Palas les doctrines poursuyvent
Sont prisez se taisans, & blasmez s’ils escrivent.
