À un poète ignorant

Clément Marot 1496 (Cahors) – 1544 (Turin)



Qu'on mène aux champs ce coquardeau,
Lequel gâte (quand il compose)
Raison, mesure, texte et glose,
Soit en ballade ou en rondeau.

II n'a cervelle ne cerveau.
C'est pourquoi si haut crier j'ose : «
Qu'on mène aux champs ce coquardeau. »

S'il veut rien faire de nouveau,
Qu'il œuvre hardiment en prose (J'entends s'il en sait quelque chose) :
Car en rime ce n'est qu'un veau,
Qu'on mène aux champs.
