by Pierre de Ronsard (1524 - 1585)

Je ne suis point, ma guerrière Cassandre
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Je ne suis point, ma guerrière Cassandre,
Ni Myrmidon ni Dolope soudard
Ni cet Archer, dont l'homicide dard
Tua ton frère et mit ta ville en cendre.

Un camp armé pour esclave te rendre
Du port d'Aulide en ma faveur ne part,
Et tu ne vois au pied de ton rempart
Pour t'enlever mille barques descendre.

Hélas! je suis ce Corèbe insensé,
Dont le coeur vit mortellement blessé,
Non de la main du grégeois Pénelée,

Mais de cent traits qu'un Archerot vainqueur
Par une voie en mes yeux recélée,
Sans y penser me tira dans le cœur
