Lorsque le ciel de saphir est en feu,
Lorsque l'Eté, de son haleine touche
La folle Nymphe amoureuse, et par jeu
Met un charbon rougissant sur sa bouche;
Quand sa chaleur, dédaigneuse et farouche,
Fait tressaillir le myrte et le cyprès,
On sent brûler sous ses magiques traits
Les fronts blémis, et les lèvres décloses,
Et le riant feuillage des forêts,
Et vous aussi, coeurs enflammés des Roses.
