N'avoir dettes, amour, ni proces, ni querelle, Ni de partage a faire avecque ses parens, Se contenter de peu, n'esperer rien des Grands, Regler tous ses desseins sur un juste modele. Vivre avecque franchise et sans ambition, S'adonner sans scrupule a la devotion, Domter ses passions, Ies rendre obeissantes. Conserver l'esprit libre, et Ie jugement fort, Dire son Chapelet en cultivant ses entes, Cest attendre chez soi bien doucement la mort.
