Canis queritur nimium nocere.
A dog complains that excess harms.
Je ne vay point suyvant le cours
Des fuyars sangliers ny des ours,
Ma queuë on n’a point veu paroistre
Trop flateuse devers mon maistre:
Mais bien je tire au col submis
Dessoubz le joug que l’on ma mis:
Et de ma force j’ay nuisance,
Dont les autres ont allegeance
Ceux qui sont libres me voyant
Ainsi mené vont abayant
Sesbahissants parmy la rue
De ma pauvre desconvenue.
O que j’eusse esté fortuné Link to an image of this page [M4r p183]Si plus petit je fusse né!
J’eusse receu mille caresses,
Le chier soucy de mes maistresses
Qui soigneuses ne m’eussent pas
Laissé sans lict & sans repas.
Ainsi nuist richesse orgueilleuse
Et la force presomptueuse.
Mais beaucoup on reçoit de bien
De se contenter du moyen.
