Sacrés coteaux, et vous saintes ruines
Joachim du Bellay 1525 (Liré) – 1560 (Paris)
Sacrés coteaux, et vous saintes ruines,
Qui le seul nom de Rome retenez,
Vieux monuments, qui encor soutenez
L'honneur poudreux de tant d'âmes divines :
Arcs triomphaux, pointes du ciel voisines,
Qui de vous voir le ciel même étonnez,
Las, peu à peu cendre vous devenez,
Fable du peuple et publiques rapines !
Et bien qu'au temps pour un temps fassent guerre
Les bâtiments, si est-ce que le temps
Oeuvres et noms finablement atterre.
Tristes désirs, vivez doncques contents :
Car si le temps finit chose si dure,
Il finira la peine que j'endure.
