E fisco ne viscum.[1]
Let not the purse turn into birdlime.
Que les biens les tresors appartiennent aux rois
Pour empescher le vice & pour garder les loix,
Pour donner des presens à ceux qui par office
Ont merité les biens en gardant la justice.
Mais qu’ils se gardent bien par iniques moyens
D’augmenter leur domaine en amassant des biens:
Il faut que hors la main une esponge seichee Link to an image of this page [P3v p230]Dont plus rien il ne sort, tousjours soit arrachee.
Ostez-en les moyens un Prince gracieux
Doibt hair l’usurier & l’avaricieux,
De peur que son domaine en la fin par ce vice
Ne soit veu se muer en un gaing d’avarice.
Qu’il garde de gaster son estomach chargé
D’amendes ou de chair que crue il a mangé:
Car sans fin alterè il finira sa vie
Tresmalheureusement par une hydropisie.
