  De Thalie
  Plus jolie,
Quand Mars enchante les jeux,
  Cette Muse,
  Qui s’amuse,
Semble rire dans ses yeux.

  L’Amour même
  D’un emblème
Entoure son front charmant ;
  Pour couronne
  Il lui donne
La perle et le diamant.

  Sans rivale,
  Sans égale,
Elle règne avec douceur.
  Une grâce
  Suit sa trace :
Elle croit suivre une sœur.
      
  Comme Aurore
  Est encore
Plus belle en versant des pleurs,
  Quelques larmes
  Sur ses charmes
Semblent couler sur des fleurs.
