“Aux lecteurs: Amis lecteurs, qui ce livre lisez, Despouillez vous de toute affection; Et, le lisant, ne vous scandalisez: Il ne contient mal ne infection; Vray est qu'icy peu de perfection Vous apprendrez, si non en cas de rire; Aultre argument ne peut mon cueur elire, Voyant le dueil qui vous mine et consomme Mieulx est de risque de larmes escripre, Pour ce que rire est le propre de l'homme.”
