Les épis sont à Cérès
Language: French (Français)
Les épis sont à Cérès, Aux [Dieux bouquins]1 les forêts, À Chlore l'herbe nouvelle, À Phoebus le vert laurier, À Minerve l'olivier, Et le beau pin à Cybèle ; Au Zéphires le doux bruit, À Pomone le doux fruit, L'onde aux Nymphes est sacrée, À Flore les belles fleurs ; Mais les soucis et les pleurs Sont sacrés à Cythèrée.
