Parth\u00e9nice, il n\u2019est rien qui r\u00e9siste \u00e0 tes charmes :
\nTon empire est \u00e9gal \u00e0 l\u2019empire des dieux ;
\nEt qui pourrait te voir sans te rendre les armes,
\nOu bien serait sans \u00e2me, ou bien serait sans yeux.<\/p>\n
Pour moi, je l\u2019avouerai, sit\u00f4t que je t\u2019eus vue
\nJe ne r\u00e9sistai point ; je me rendis \u00e0 toi :
\nMes sens furent charm\u00e9s, ma raison fut vaincue,
\nEt mon c\u0153ur tout entier se rangea sous ta loi.<\/p>\n
Je vis sans d\u00e9plaisir ma franchise asservie ;
\nSa perte n\u2019eut pour moi rien de rude et d\u2019affreux ;
\nJ\u2019en perdis tout ensemble et l\u2019usage et l\u2019envie :
\nJe me sentis esclave, et je me crus heureux.<\/p>\n
Je vis que tes beaut\u00e9s n\u2019avaient point de pareilles :
\nTes yeux par leur \u00e9clat \u00e9blouissaient les miens ;
\nLa douceur de ta voix enchanta mes oreilles ;
\nLes n\u0153uds de tes cheveux devinrent mes liens.<\/p>\n
Je ne m\u2019arr\u00eatai pas \u00e0 tes beaut\u00e9s sensibles,
\nJe d\u00e9couvris en toi de plus rares tr\u00e9sors ;
\nJe vis et j\u2019admirai les beaut\u00e9s invisibles
\nQui rendent ton esprit aussi beau que ton corps.<\/p>\n
Ce fut alors que voyant ton m\u00e9rite adorable,
\nJe sentis tous mes sens t\u2019adorer tour \u00e0 tour ;
\nJe ne voyais en toi rien qui ne f\u00fbt aimable,
\nJe ne sentais en moi rien qui ne f\u00fbt amour.<\/p>\n
Ainsi je fis d’aimer l’aimable apprentissage ;
\nJe m’y suis plu depuis, j’en aime la douceur ;
\nJ’ai toujours dans l’esprit tes yeux et ton image ;
\nJ’ai toujours Parth\u00e9nice au milieu de mon coeur.<\/p>\n
Oui, depuis que tes yeux allum\u00e8rent ma flamme,
\nJe respire bien moins en moi-m\u00eame qu’en toi;
\nL’amour semble avoir pris la place de mon \u00e2me,
\nEt je ne vivrais plus s’il n’\u00e9tait plus en moi.<\/p>\n
Vous qui n\u2019avez point vu l\u2019illustre Parth\u00e9nice,
\nBois, fontaines, rochers, agr\u00e9able s\u00e9jour !
\nSouffrez que jusqu\u2019ici son beau nom retentisse,
\nEt n\u2019oubliez jamais sa gloire et son amour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"default","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"annee":[579],"poems-book":[572],"poemes-theme":[],"poete":[578],"class_list":["post-12262","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-579","poems-book-poesies-diverses-racine","poete-jean-racine"],"yoast_head":"\n
