Je n'escris point d'amour, n'estant point amoureux

Joachim du Bellay 1525 (Liré) – 1560 (Paris)



Je n'escris point d'amour, n'estant point amoureux,
Je n'escris de beauté, n'ayant belle maistresse,
Je n'escris de douceur, n'esprouvant que rudesse,
Je n'escris de plaisir, me trouvant douloureux ;

Je n'escris de bonheur, me trouvant malheureux,
Je n'escrisde faveur, ne voyant ma Princesse,
Je n'escris de trésors, n'ayant point de richesse,
Je n'escris de santé, me sentant langoureux :

Je n'escris de la Court, estant loing de mon Prince,
Je n'escris de la France, en estrange province,
Je n'escris de l'honneur, n'en voyant point icy ;

Je n'escris d'amitié, ne trouvant que feintise,
Je n'escris de vertu, n'en trouvant point aussi,
Je n'escris de sçavoir, entre les gens d'eglise.
