[p. 18] Lvy mesme[n1] av tresexperimenté doctevr maistre Pierre Hassart.

Ce n’est ton Art docte Hassart
Qui æternisera ta gloire:
Ce n’est pour auoir double part
De science, langue & memoire,
Ce n’est tes presages encore
Qui te font demi-dieu terrien:
Mais le chapeau qui te decore
Est qu’es liberal de ton bien.

It is not your learned art, Hassart, that will immortalize your glory; it is not because you possess a double share of knowledge, language, and memory, nor is it your predictions that make you a terrestrial demigod: but the hat that adorns you is a symbol of your generosity with your wealth.
