Towards the abbot of Marolles on the brothers Jaillot

"Both Jaillot, two admirable brothers,
From the place of Saint-Oyan in the Franche-Comté,
On the yvoire expressing all their will,
Animate it by their hand on contrary subjects.
By Simon one would say that matter endures;
Hubert bends it in the same way,
What use does their lesson benefit?
And who can better form a noble figure? "
