Tyrannus.
The tyrant
Cil qui comme un Tyran gouverne son empire
Veut estre redoubté selon son faux desir:
Il fait mourir les siens, afin qu’à son plaisir
Nul ne soit si hardy de vouloir contredire.
Comme l’ongle au lion, ta main est inhumaine,
Et comme le silure est ton coeur ravissant,
Tu veux mesme du ciel estre en fin jouissant,
Et de meurtre & de sang ta main est toute plaine,
Tu change le plaisir en douleur qui augmente,
Tout cela qu’il te plaist te semble estre permis.
Tu fais de tes subjects ainsi que d’ennemis,
Tu as pour ta raison la volonté meschante.
