Stultitiam patiuntur opes.
Wealth permits stupidity.
Nous en voyons beaucoup avoir toute chevance,
Lesquels par le malheur de prodigalité
En font un grand degast contre toute equité,
Sans en aider ceux qui en sont en souffrance.
Je ne voudrois les biens par qui est empeschee
La louange eternelle, & par qui nostre esprit
Devient plus malheureux: car un Poete a escript
Que tousjours de folie est richesse entachee.
