Laus in fine.
The praise comes at the end.
Celuy lŕ qui commence un admirable affaire
N’en doibt estre prisé: car chacun le peut faire:
Mais celuy qui parfaict ce qu’il a commencé,
C’est celuy qui doibt estre au triomphe advancé. Link to an image of this page [D1v p50]Ulysse est appellé par Homere, homme acort,
Achille est estimé victorieux & fort,
Et bien que Ajax fust tel, & de grande entreprise,
Toutesfois comme l’autre Homere ne le prise.
L’un d’entre eux pouvoit bien troubler un exercite,
Mais celuy qui luy peut servir d’une conduicte
C’est Dieu seul, qui gouverne & qui rend accordez
Les plus malicieux & les plus débordez.
