by Jacques de Cailly (1604 - 1673)

Votre précieuse personne
Language: French (Français) 
Votre précieuse personne
A quatre médecins aujourd'hui s'abandonne,
Et suit aveuglément leur sentiment vénal !
Gillet, mon amitié veut que je vous le die ;
  Quatre médecins sont un mal
  Plus grand que votre maladie.
