Empta dolore voluptas.
Pleasure bought with pain.
Alors qu’un paon monstroit sa grand’ queüe estoillee
Il descouvroit derriere une face celee,
Ayant une grand’ gueule & un homme attaché
Qui de ce monstre grand nourrissoit le peché.
Celuy qui va suyvant la beauté de la face
D’une infame putain, trop folement s’enlasse,
Il y perd son honneur, & son bien il despend,
Et puis estant chassé & pauvre il se repent.
Fuyez la volupté par douleur acheptee:
Car par Bacche & Venus la mort est presentee.
