Book of Hours, 1530. January: people playing games indoors. 'Les six premiers ans que vit l'homme au monde / Nous comparons a janvier droictement / Car en ce moys vertu ne force abonde / Non plus que quant six ans a ung enfant'. (The first six years that man lives in the world / We compare to January directly / For in this month virtue does not abound / No more than when a child is six years old).
