Si fruits, raisins et blés, et autres telles choses

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



Si fruits, raisins et blés, et autres telles choses,
Ont leur tronc, et leur cep, et leur semence aussi,
Et s'on voit au retour du printemps adouci
Naître de toutes parts violettes et roses :

Ni fruits, raisins, ni blés, ni fleurettes décloses
Sortiront, viateur, du corps qui gît ici :
Aulx, oignons, et porreaux, et ce qui fleure ainsi,
Auront ici dessous leurs semences encloses.

Toi donc, qui de l'encens et du baume n'as point,
Si du grand Jules tiers quelque regret te point,
Parfume son tombeau de telle odeur choisie :

Puisque son corps, qui fut jadis égal aux dieux,
Se soulait* paître ici de tels mets précieux,
Comme au ciel Jupiter se paît de l'ambroisie.
