Qvand le Citois ie vis le liure,
Ie pensois bien sans manger, viure:
Mais quand tu luy respond si bien,
Ie ne puis plus viure de rien.

Quatrain. To the Author.

When I saw the book by François Citois, I thought I could live well without eating. But when you respond so well to it, I can no longer live on nothing.
