Tu ne me vois jamais, Pierre, que tu ne die

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



Tu ne me vois jamais, Pierre, que tu ne die
Que j'étudie trop, que je fasse l'amour,
Et que d'avoir toujours ces livres à l'entour
Rend les yeux éblouis et la tête alourdie.

Mais tu ne l'entends pas : car cette maladie
Ne me vient du trop lire ou du trop long séjour,
Ainsi de voir le bureau, qui se tient chacun jour :
C'est, Pierre mon ami, le livre où j'étudie.

Ne m'en parle donc plus, autant que tu as cher
De me donner plaisir et de ne me fâcher :
Mais bien en cependant que d'une main habile

Tu me laves la barbe et me tonds les cheveux,
Pour me désennuyer, conte-moi, si tu veux,
Des nouvelles du pape et du bruit de la ville.
