Levitas secura.
Untroubled lightness
Au milieu d’un grand fleuve une table est jettee,
Laquelle estant legiere au rivage est portee:
Mais l’autre plus pesant’ se r’enverse dans l’eau,
Et est portee au fond par son propre fardeau.
Le fol, l’adulateur, le menteur variable
Evitent quelque temps les dangers perilleux:
Mais ceux qui sont constants & bon religieux
Passent subitement le peril effroyable.
