by Joachim du Bellay (1525 - c1560)

Voici le carnaval, menons chacun la...
Language: French (Français) 
Voici le carnaval, menons chacun la sienne, 
Allons baller en masque, allons nous promener, 
Allons voir Marc Antoine ou Zany bouffonner 
Avec son Magnifique à la vénitienne :

Voyons courir le pal à la mode ancienne, 
Et voyons par le nez le sot buffle mener : 
Voyons le fier taureau d'armes environner, 
Et voyons au combat l'adresse italienne :

Voyons d'œufs parfumés un orage grêler, 
Et la fusée ardent siffler menu par l'air. 
Sus donc, dépêchons-nous, voici la pardonnance :

Il nous faudra demain visiter les saints lieux, 
Là nous ferons l'amour, mais ce sera des yeux, 
Car passer plus avant, c'est contre l'ordonnance.
