Un Mort s\u2019en allait tristement
\nS\u2019emparer de son dernier g\u00eete ;
\nUn Cur\u00e9 s\u2019en allait gaiement
\nEnterrer ce mort au plus vite.
\nNotre d\u00e9funt \u00e9tait en carrosse port\u00e9,
\nBien et d\u00fbment empaquet\u00e9 ;
\nEt v\u00eatu d\u2019une robe, h\u00e9las ! qu\u2019on nomme bi\u00e8re,
\nRobe d\u2019hiver, robe d\u2019\u00e9t\u00e9,
\nQue les morts ne d\u00e9pouillent gu\u00e8re.
\nLe pasteur \u00e9tait \u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9 ;
\nEt r\u00e9citait, \u00e0 l\u2019ordinaire,
\nMaintes d\u00e9votes oraisons,
\nEt des psaumes et des le\u00e7ons,
\nEt des versets et des r\u00e9pons :
\n\u00ab Monsieur le Mort, laissez-nous faire,
\nOn vous en donnera de toutes les fa\u00e7ons ;
\nIl ne s\u2019agit que du salaire. \u00bb
\nMessire Jean Chouart couvait des yeux son mort,
\nComme si l\u2019on e\u00fbt d\u00fb lui ravir ce tr\u00e9sor ;
\nEt des regards semblait lui dire :
\n\u00ab Monsieur le Mort, j\u2019aurai de vous
\nTant en argent, et tant en cire,
\nEt tant en autres menus co\u00fbts. \u00bb
\nIl fondait l\u00e0-dessus l\u2019achat d\u2019une feuillette
\nDu meilleur vin des environs ;
\nCertaine ni\u00e8ce assez propette
\nEt sa chambri\u00e8re P\u00e2quette
\nDevaient avoir des cotillons.
\nSur cette agr\u00e9able pens\u00e9e
\nUn heurt survient : adieu le char.
\nVoil\u00e0 messire Jean Chouart
\nQui du choc de son mort a la t\u00eate cass\u00e9e.
\nLe paroissien en plomb entra\u00eene son pasteur ;
\nNotre Cur\u00e9 suit son seigneur ;
\nTous deux s\u2019en vont de compagnie.
\nProprement toute notre vie
\nEst le cur\u00e9 Chouart qui sur son mort comptait,
\nEt la fable du Pot au lait.<\/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":[371,330],"poete":[151],"class_list":["post-1258","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-166","poems-book-fables","poemes-theme-imaginaire","poemes-theme-mort","poete-jean-de-la-fontaine"],"yoast_head":"\n
