\tCertaine fille, un peu trop fi\u00e8re
\n\tPr\u00e9tendait trouver un mari
\nJeune, bien fait et beau, d\u2019agr\u00e9able mani\u00e8re,
\nPoint froid et point jaloux : notez ces deux points-ci.
\n\tCette fille voulait aussi
\n\tQu\u2019il e\u00fbt du bien, de la naissance,
\nDe l\u2019esprit, enfin tout. Mais qui peut tout avoir ?
\nLe Destin se montra soigneux de la pourvoir :
\n\tIl vint des partis d\u2019importance.
\nLa belle les trouva trop ch\u00e9tifs de moiti\u00e9 :
\n\u00ab Quoi ! moi ? quoi ! ces gens-l\u00e0 ? l\u2019on radote, je pense.
\n\u00c0 moi les proposer ! h\u00e9las ! ils font piti\u00e9 :
\n\tVoyez un peu la belle esp\u00e8ce ! \u00bb
\nL\u2019un n\u2019avait en l\u2019esprit nulle d\u00e9licatesse ;
\nL\u2019autre avait le nez fait de cette fa\u00e7on-l\u00e0 :
\n\tC\u2019\u00e9tait ceci, c\u2019\u00e9tait cela ;
\n\tC\u2019\u00e9tait tout ; car les pr\u00e9cieuses
\n\tFont dessus tout les d\u00e9daigneuses.
\nApr\u00e8s les bons partis, les m\u00e9diocres gens
\n\tVinrent se mettre sur les rangs.
\nElle de se moquer. \u00ab Ah ! vraiment je suis bonne
\nDe leur ouvrir la porte ! Ils pensent que je suis
\n\tFort en peine de ma personne :
\n\tGr\u00e2ce \u00e0 Dieu, je passe les nuits
\n\tSans chagrin, quoique en solitude. \u00bb
\nLa belle se sut gr\u00e9 de tous ces sentiments.
\nL\u2019\u00e2ge la fit d\u00e9choir : adieu tous les amants.
\nUn an se passe, et deux, avec inqui\u00e9tude :
\nLe chagrin vient ensuite ; elle sent chaque jour
\nD\u00e9loger quelques Ris, quelques Jeux, puis l\u2019Amour ;
\n\tPuis ses traits choquer et d\u00e9plaire ;
\nPuis cent sortes de fards. Ses soins ne purent faire
\nQu\u2019elle \u00e9chapp\u00e2t au Temps, cet insigne larron.
\n\tLes ruines d\u2019une maison
\nSe peuvent r\u00e9parer : que n\u2019est cet avantage
\n\tPour les ruines du visage !
\nSa pr\u00e9ciosit\u00e9 changea lors de langage.
\nSon miroir lui disait : \u00ab Prenez vite un mari. \u00bb
\nJe ne sais quel d\u00e9sir le lui disait aussi :
\nLe d\u00e9sir peut loger chez une pr\u00e9cieuse.
\nCelle-ci fit un choix qu\u2019on n\u2019aurait jamais cru,
\nSe trouvant \u00e0 la fin tout aise et tout heureuse
\n\tDe rencontrer un malotru.<\/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":[166],"poems-book":[142],"poemes-theme":[341,398],"poete":[151],"class_list":["post-1252","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-166","poems-book-fables","poemes-theme-angoisse","poemes-theme-solitude","poete-jean-de-la-fontaine"],"yoast_head":"\n
