Cur sues cancris vescantur.
Why pigs eat crabs
Les porceaux sont garis de la douleur de teste
S’ils mangent l’escrevisse, ainsi certainement
Nous sommes advertis d’une sentence honeste
Qui concerne de l’homme un commun reglement.
Ceux qui sont addonez au vice & à l’ordure
Ne resentent jamais l’honneur d’honnesteté,
Si l’esprit retourné soudain ne se mesure
En delaissant du tout son impudicité.
Il faut tourner la vie en un chemin contraire,
Et comme l’escrevisse aller tout à rebours,
Ce moyen garira le mal qui peut desplaire,
Ayant d’un bon conseil promptement le secours.
