by Antoine de Chandieu (1534 - 1591)

I'apperceus un enfant
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ITA
I'apperceus un enfant qui d'un tuyau de paille
Trempé dans le savon avecques eau mélé,
Des ampoules soufflait encontre une muraille,
Dont l'oeil de maint passant était émerveillé.

Riches elles semblaient, fermes, de forme ronde.
Mais le voyant crever en leur lustre plus beau,
Voire soudainement, viola, dis-je un tableau
De la frêle splendeur et vanité du Monde.
