Ambitio.
Ambition
Ceux la qui sont enflez par vaine ambition,
N’ayans rien que la gloire en leur intention,
Ceux la certainement apparoissent semblables
A une grande peau que l’on enfle de vent:
Car du simple vulgaire ils n’ont le plus souvent
Que les folles faveurs a l’heure perissables.
Celluy doncq qui voudra acquerir un honneur,
Celluy par jugement conduise sa faveur,
Vertu le conduira, a la joye immortelle,
Et par la pieté il sera defendu,
Puis l’honneur luy sera à la parfin rendu
Par ceux qui ont acquis une louange telle.
