In spe fortitudo.
Fortitude in hope
Avec un arc bendé quelqu’un voulut tirer,
Mais la corde en estoit & dure & toute láche,
Alors qu’il se fonçoit, & ainsi qu’il se fache
Un de ses compagnons le feit bien esperer,
Tiens ferme, ce dict-il, tires le d’avantage,
Et ainsi tu mettras en effect ton courage.
Ceux qui ont d’un chacun les proficts maintenus,
Et qui ont empesché une chose mauvaise,
Estans aidez de Dieu, ils parfont à leur aise Link to an image of this page [K4v p152]Ce qu’ils ont commencé bien qu’ils soyent retenu.
L’attente ne doibt poins arrester l’esperance,
Mais on en doibt plus tost entrer en asseurance.
