by François Ponsard (1814 - 1867)

Le chant d'Euryclée
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Je vous plains ô veuve désolée
Vous aviez un mari vaillant dans la mélée
Sage dans le conseil
Celui qui doit entrer dans ta couche déserte
Ne t'égalera pas, noble fils de Laerte,
Ulysse aux Dieux pareil.

Vous quitterez Ithaque et ses fertiles plaines
Et cette chambre antique où vous filiez vos laines
Pour un foyer lointain
Votre nouvel époux sera méchant peut être
Il va vous maltraiter et vous parler en maitre
D'un ton dur et hautain.
