Spes certa.
Secure hope
Les hommes sont seduis par la vaine esperance
Qui a-il plus doubteux qu’un oeuf, bien qu’il soit blanc,
Ne nuist-il pas souvent dans le corps oł il entre?
La poulle toutesfois l’eschauffe soubz le ventre,
Et si lon void sortir un profit de son flanc.
Ya-il rien plus seur qu’un poullet plain de vie?
Or donc arreste toy au certain & t’y fie.
