Sera parsimonia.
Frugality that comes too late
L’homme sera tousjours & pauvre & miserable
Employant tout son bien aux despens de la table,
Et donnant à chacun plus que son revenu.
Il doibt doncques jetter le calcul de ses rentes,
Les disposant selon les affaires urgentes,
S’il veut estre tousjours en son bien maintenu.
Il doibt prevoir le temps, & sur tout il doibt craindre
La vieilesse & les maux qui le peuvent attaindre
Gardant tousjours le fond pour la necessité.
Touteffois il ne doibt se geener [=gener]
de soy-mesme
En se laissant dompter à l’avarice extrême:
Car le plus souhaitable est mediocrité.
