Original Text
"Joachim Du Bellay," Representative French Poetry, ed. Victor E. Graham, 2nd edn. (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1965): 9-10. From Divers jeux rustiques, iii, 1558.
2Qui d'æle passagere
3Par le monde volez,
4Et d'un sifflant murmure
5L'ombrageuse verdure
6Doulcement esbranlez,
7J'offre ces violettes,
8Ces lis, et ces fleurettes,
9Et ces roses icy,
10Ces vermeillettes roses,
11Tout freschement écloses,
12Et ces œilletz aussi.
13De votre doulce halaine
14Eventez ceste plaine,
15Eventez ce séjour;
17A mon blé, que je vanne
18A la chaleur du jour.
