Les indolents
Language: French (Français)
"Bah ! malgré les destins jaloux, Mourons ensemble, voulez-vous ? - La proposition est rare. - Le rare est le bon. Donc mourons Comme dans les Décamérons. - Hi ! hi ! hi ! quel amant bizarre ! - Bizarre, je ne sais. Amant Irréprochable, assurément. Si vous voulez, mourons ensemble ? - Monsieur, vous raillez mieux encor Que vous n'aimez, et parlez d'or; Mais taisons-nous, si bon vous semble ! " Si bien que ce soir-là Tircis Et Dorimène, à deux assis Non loin de deux sylvains hilares, Eurent l'inexpiable tort D'ajourner une exquise mort. Hi! hi! hi! les amants bizarres !
