Rabelais's Blason and contreblason du couillons (Eng blason and counterblason of the bollock) are two blasons which are featured in the Third Book of Gargantua and Pantagruel. First, there is Panurge's blason in "How Panurge consulteth with Friar John of the Funnels", then Frère Jean's contreblason in "How Friar John comforteth Panurge in the doubtful matter of cuckoldry".

These rhapsodic list and enumerations of adjectives are extremely poetic juxtapositions.
