Sauvons-nous du souci d'un jour! Théone, cédons à l'amour, Cédons à Vénus Cyprienne Que le myrte à la verveine tors (D'autres diront la vie est ses torts!) Peinture tes chevuex que l'écaille hausse. Je dirai la vipère au bandeau Des femmes de la Thrace, et l'eau Sacrée de la fontaine Tilfosse. Fais ton corps docile au coussin, Ceinturée de perles indiques. Je dirai, comme au doux essaim Des Favones rouvrent leur sein, Les gracieuses heures véridiques.
