Je succombe sous ton effort

Duo Héraclite Je succombe sous ton effort, Vive douleur, cruel martire, A pleurer leurs communs malheurs, Mes yeux sont occupez sans cesse. Démocrite Des humains le bizarre sort N'est pour moy qu'un sujet de rire Je ris de leurs folles erreurs, Et me moque de leur foiblesse.
