Contraint de renoncer \u00e0 la chevalerie,
\nDon Quichotte voulut, pour se d\u00e9dommager,
\nMener une plus douce vie,
\nEt choisit l\u2019\u00e9tat de berger.
\nLe voil\u00e0 donc qui prend paneti\u00e8re & houlette,
\nLe petit chapeau rond garni d\u2019un ruban vert
\nSous le menton faisant rosette.
\nJugez de la gr\u00e2ce & de l\u2019air
\nDe ce nouveau Tircis ! Sur sa rauque musette
\nIl s\u2019essaie \u00e0 charmer l\u2019\u00e9cho de ces cantons,
\nAch\u00e8te au boucher deux moutons,
\nPrend un roquet galeux, &, dans cet \u00e9quipage,
\nPar l\u2019hiver le plus froid qu\u2019on e\u00fbt vu de longtemps,
\nDispersant son troupeau sur les rives du Tage,
\nAu milieu de la neige il chante le printemps.
\nPoint de mal jusques l\u00e0 : chacun \u00e0 sa mani\u00e8re
\nEst libre d\u2019avoir du plaisir.
\nMais il vint \u00e0 passer une grosse vach\u00e8re ;
\nEt le pasteur, press\u00e9 d\u2019un amoureux d\u00e9sir,
\nCourt & tombe \u00e0 ses pieds : \u00f4 belle Timarette,
\nDit-il, toi que l\u2019on voit parmi tes jeunes s\u0153urs
\nComme le lis parmi les fleurs,
\nCher & cruel objet de ma flamme secr\u00e8te,
\nAbandonne un moment le soin de tes agneaux ;
\nViens voir un nid de tourtereaux
\nQue j\u2019ai d\u00e9couvert sur ce ch\u00eane.
\nJe veux te les donner : h\u00e9las ! C\u2019est tout mon bien.
\nIls sont blancs : leur couleur, Timarette, est la tienne ;
\nMais, par malheur pour moi, leur c\u0153ur n\u2019est pas le tien.
\n\u00c0 ce discours, la Timarette,
\nDont le vrai nom \u00e9toit Fanchon,
\nOuvre une large bouche, &, d\u2019un \u0153il fixe & b\u00eate,
\nContemple le vieux C\u00e9ladon ;
\nQuand un valet de ferme, amoureux de la belle,
\nParaissant tout-\u00e0-coup, tombe \u00e0 coups de b\u00e2ton
\nSur le berger tendre & fid\u00e8le,
\nEt vous l\u2019\u00e9tend sur le gazon.
\nDon Quichotte crioit : arr\u00eate,
\nPasteur ignorant & brutal ;
\nNe sais-tu pas nos lois ? Le c\u0153ur de Timarette
\nDoit devenir le prix d\u2019un combat pastoral :
\nChante, & ne frappe pas. Vainement il l\u2019implore ;
\nL\u2019autre frappoit toujours, & frapperoit encore,
\nSi l\u2019on n\u2019\u00e9toit venu secourir le berger
\nEt l\u2019arracher \u00e0 sa furie.
\nAinsi gu\u00e9rir d\u2019une folie,
\nBien souvent ce n\u2019est qu\u2019en changer.<\/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":[568],"poems-book":[583],"poemes-theme":[],"poete":[566],"class_list":["post-12454","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-568","poems-book-fables-de-florian","poete-jean-pierre-claris-de-florian"],"yoast_head":"\n
