Ce n'est pas trop

French
Ce n'est pas trop que d'avoir ung amy,
Mais d'en avoir ne deux, ne trois, ne quatre1,
Ce seroit trop, il en fauldroit rabatre:2
Qui en a tant n'ayme honneur ne demy3.

1 "deux, ou trois, ou quatre"
2 "Rabatre" : jeu sur le double sens, déjà attesté, de rabattre -- "diminuer en retranchant" et "abaisser ses prètentions"
3 "Qui en a tant ne prise seulement à demi l'honneur."
