Ne lira-t-on jamais que ce dieu rigoureux

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



Ne lira-t-on jamais que ce dieu rigoureux ?
Jamais ne lira-t-on que cette Idalienne ?
Ne verra-t-on jamais Mars sans la Cyprienne ?
Jamais ne verra-t-on que Ronsard amoureux ?

Retistra-t-on toujours, d'un tour laborieux,
Cette toile, argument d'une si longue peine ?
Reverra-t-on toujours Oreste sur la scène?
Sera toujours Roland par amour furieux ?

Ton Francus, cependant, a beau hausser les voiles,
Dresser le gouvernail, épier les étoiles,
Pour aller où il dût être ancré désormais :

Il a le vent à gré, il est en équipage,
Il est encor pourtant sur le troyen rivage,
Aussi crois-je, Ronsard, qu'il n'en partit jamais.
