Sors ingeniosa.
Talented fate
La discorde engendra un royaume puissant,
Qui par autre discord s’en alloit finissant
Si d’un accord commun l’on eust eu aggreable
Cela qu’avoit donné fortune favorable:
Et le hanissement du cheval n’eust rien fait
Si le tout en apres n’eust estè bien parfait:[1] Link to an image of this page [N8r p207]Car la sedition eust soudain peu defaire.
Survenant la fureur, le royaume de Daire.
Il faut doncques en tout estre bien advisé
Qui veut icy vivant estre tousjours prisé,
Bien que fortune soit inconstante aveuglee,
Et que sur une roüe ell’ ne soit asseuree.
1. Darius’ mare figures in Herodotus, The Histories, 3.
