Le Sens MORAL.

REguarde bien à qui tu as affaire, Si tu aiguises tes dents contre vn plus fort que toy, tu ne luy nuiras pas, mais à toy mesme; Et quant à cette vaine entreprise du Serpent qui s' afforce de ronger vne Lime, elle nous enseigne, à ne nous point joüer aux Grands, de nostre foiblesse, ne nous soit en fin vn fascheux subject de Confusion et de Ruine. Tout le Dommage qu' on pretend faire à vn Ennemy de cette Nature là retombe sur celuy qui l'attaqué; C' est sapper vn bastiment, qui nous accablera, Bref c' est s' exposer à vn Ennemy, pour estre condemné comme vn leger, et incertain.
