Apta recipiunt.
To each his own.
Carolo Clusio.[1]
Tant plus le chesne est caché dedans l’eau
Plus il durcist & tant plus il est beau:
Ce qu’à tout bois n’est donné de nature:
Car en nageant il chet en pourriture.
Aux uns la mauve est forte à digerer,
Qui un plus dur peuvent bien endurer.
Mesme la caille arrache la cicue,
Qui pour mortelle aux autres est congnue.
Le medecin ne peut tousjours recourir.
Jamais Thersite[2] eschangé ne peut estre, Link to an image of this page [K7r p157]En un Ulysse: Achille fist paroistre
Par dessus tous la grandeur de son coeur,
Le perroquet est fort bon appreneur:
Le boeuf est lent, & pegase est agille:
Bref on ne peut faire une chose utile
De ce qui est de soy-mesme imparfaict,
Et de tout bois un Mercure n’est faict.
