Periculum authori nocens.
Danger harms its author
Un escumeur de mer avoit pris d’aventure
Des pauvres matelots, qu’il feist tous attacher
Et sans grosse rançon ne les pensoit lascher:
Mais il fut en apres trompé outre mesure.
Le pescheur fut la proye & le maistre arrogant
Fut beaucoup abbaissé au dessoubz du servant:
Car comme il les menoit en la prison servile,
Le vent luy fut contraire, & tout subit fut mis
Au havre desiré par ceux qu’il avoit pris.
O Dieu que la fortune est legiere & mobile,
Puis que subitement un danger appresté
A conduit son autheur en toute pauvreté!
