Analysis of Loyre fameux, qui ta petite Source

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



Loyre fameux, qui ta petite Source
Enfles de maintz gros fleuves, et Ruysseaux,
Et qui de loing coules tes cleres Eaux
En l'Ocean d'une assez lente Course.

Ton chef Royal hardiment bien hault pousse
Et aparoy entre tous les plus beaux,
Comme un Thaureau sur les menuz Troupeaux,
Quoy que le Pau envieux s'en courrousse.

Commande doncq' aux gentilles Naiades
Sortir dehors leurs beaux Palaiz humides
Avecques toy, leur Fleuve Paternel,

Pour saluer de joyeuses Aubades
Celle qui t'a, et tes Filles liquides
Deifié de ce bruyt eternel.
