“
Quand cette belle fleur premièrement je vis
Joachim du Bellay 1525 (Liré) – 1560 (Paris)
Quand cette belle fleur premièrement je vis,(0.00 / 0 votes)
Qui notre âge de fer de ses vertus redore,
Bien que sa grand' valeur je ne connusse encore,
Si fus-je en la voyant de merveille ravi.
Depuis, ayant le cours de fortune suivi,
Où le Tibre tortu de jaune se colore,
Et voyant ces grands dieux, que l'ignorance adore,
Ignorants, vicieux et méchants à l'envi :
Alors, Forget, alors cette erreur ancienne,
Qui n'avait bien connu ta princesse et la mienne,
La venant à revoir, se dessilla les yeux :
Alors je m'aperçus qu'ignorant son mérite
J'avais, sans la connaître, admiré Marguerite,
Comme, sans les connaître, on admire les cieux
