## Summary

“_Tant ayme on chien qu’on le nourrist, Tant court chanson qu’elle est aprise, Tant garde on fruit qu’il se pourrist, Tant bat on place qu’elle est prise. Tant tarde on que faut entreprise, Tant se haste on que mal advient, Tant embrasse on que chet la prise, Tant crie l’on Noel qu’il vient._” VILLON, _Ballade des Proverbes_.
