by Antoine de Chandieu (1534 - 1591)

Monde, pourquoy fuis‑tu?
Language: French (Français) 
Monde, pourquoy fuis-tu? pour cercher asseurance.
Et si ce n'est en toy, où la trouveras-tu?
Où le Monde n'est pas du monde combattu.
Le Monde se fait-il à soi mêmes offense?

Oui trop, car en la terre, au feu, en l'air, en l'onde
Le monde s'occit, s'ard et se noie, et se pend.
Monde, fuis donc au ciel: car fol est qui s'attend
D'ancrer sa nef flottante en l'Euripe du Monde.
