Dum potes vive.
Live while you can
Lors que l’avare pescheur
Jette ses rets pour me prendre
Avec la noire liqueur
Que subit je fais espandre,
Je m’eschappe, & seurement
Je nage profondement. Link to an image of this page [E8r p79]Ceux donc qui ont le moyen
De contregarder leur vie,
Pour eschapper ce lien
Pourquoy laissent-ils l’envie?
Que ne cerchent-ils tousjours
Moyen d’alonger leurs jours?
Fuyons les mortels efforts
Tant que cil qui mist la vie
Icy bas dans nostre corps,
Dans le ciel la reconvie:
Car ce grand Dieu n’aime pas
L’advancement du trespas.
Le pouppe muant couleur
Dans les rochers & le sable
Fruit de la mort le malheur,
Au moyen d’un corps muable
Lequel il colore, & peut
Changer ainsi comme il veut.
