Frontis nulla fides.
The face (or brow) is not to be trusted.
Achilli Statio Lusitano.[1]
A un chacun corps que Dieu
Crea jadis dans le monde
Soit en la terre ou en l’onde
On peut remarquer un lieu
Lequel voyant on s’assure
Quelle est en luy la nature. Link to an image of this page [L8v p176]On cognoist par les abois
Du chien l’ardeur & l’envie:
Et du taureau la furie
Au grand’s cornes que tu vois:
Le Scorpion & Vipere
Ont la queuë trop amere.
Nostre front est descouvert,
Et si lon ne peut congnoistre
L’affection qui peut estre
Du bien ou du mal offert.
Brief la chose est incongneüe
Et n’en peut juger la veüe.
Ceste main dextre qui tient
Un grand tableau sans peinture
Or’ de ton amy t’asseure
Qui pour amy te maintient
Tel que le tableau doibt estre,
Et pour tel le doibs cognoistre.
