by Joachim du Bellay (1525 - c1560)

Ceux qui sont amoureux, leurs amours...
Language: French (Français) 
Ceux qui sont amoureux, leurs amours chanteront,
Ceux qui aiment l'honneur, chanteront de la gloire,
Ceux qui sont près du roi, publieront sa victoire,
Ceux qui sont courtisans, leurs faveurs vanteront,

Ceux qui aiment les arts, les sciences diront,
Ceux qui sont vertueux, pour tels se feront croire,
Ceux qui aiment le vin, deviseront de boire,
Ceux qui sont de loisir, de fables écriront,

Ceux qui sont médisants, se plairont à médire,
Ceux qui sont moins fâcheux, diront des mots pour rire,
Ceux qui sont plus vaillants, vanteront leur valeur,

Ceux qui se plaisent trop, chanteront leur louange,
Ceux qui veulent flatter, feront d'un diable un ange :
Moi, qui suis malheureux, je plaindrai mon malheur.
