Aesculapius
Ad Volfangum Lazium Polyhistorem.[1]
Le serpent au baston, le hibou, le poussin,
La barbe, le chappeau, & de santé l’image:
Sont les enseignemens que l’antiquité sage
Donnoit a Aesculape, & à tout medecin.
Son malade doibt estre exactement conduict Link to an image of this page [F6r p91]Par un regime bon, c’est pourquoy lon apreste
Le poussin pres de luy: le hibou l’admoneste
Que tousjours les douleurs se rengregent de nuict.
Bien qu’il ayt esté nay du Delien Phoebus
Qu’on on dit estre sans barbe, il ne faut pas qu’il pense,
Estant jeune de sens, de prendre l’arrogance
De guarir tout ainsi que les sages barbus.
Aesculape barbu eust pour pere Apollon,
Pour monstrer que les maux se changent d’heure en heure:
Qu’il se garde donc bien que quand trop il demeure
Il ne laisse eschapper la viste occasion.
Par luy de toute mort le vouloir est deceu
C’est pourquoy lon luy baille un chappeau sur la teste.
Voila d’un medecin la parfaicte conqueste,
Et pour tel, mon Lazi, Vienne t’a receu.
1. Wolfgang Lazius (or Laz): versatile humanist at the Imperial court in Vienna, physician to Ferdinand I, historian and cartographer; d. 1565.
