[*] Monsieur de Gomberville,
Anthonius Fabrot Nemausensis
Mange dessous vn dais, dors dedans vn balustre
Sois fils de Mille Rois & petit fils des Dieux
Si tu n'as la vertu qui les mit dans les Cieux
Tu ne seras qu'vn sot illustre.
La Doctrine des Mœurs, Figure 50: "Eat under a canopy, sleep in a baluster / Be a son of a Thousand Kings and a small son of Gods / If you do not have the virtue who put them in the Heavens / You will not be who a fool illustrates."
