Periculum in promptu.
Danger at hand
Le pescheur experimente
La froidure vehemente
Qui le saisist tout soudain,
Lors que touchant d’une perche
La turpille qu‘il ne cerche
Luy faict engourdir la main.
Bien qu’elle soit escoulee
Au fond de la mer salee,
Et qu’ell’ ne touche son corps:
Si est-ce que la froidure
Qu’elle jette outre mesure
Met en effect ses efforts. Link to an image of this page [E4v p72]Ainsi la fortune pire
Bien que loing on se retire
Peut rendre un homme fàché:
Tout se conduict par finesse,
Et plus souvent on s’addresse
Au serpent qui est caché.
