\u00c0 M. de Barillon<\/em><\/p>\n

La qualit\u00e9 d\u2019ambassadeur
\nPeut-elle s\u2019abaisser \u00e0 des contes vulgaires ?
\nVous puis-je offrir mes vers et leurs gr\u00e2ces l\u00e9g\u00e8res ?
\nS\u2019ils osent quelquefois prendre un air de grandeur,
\nSeront-ils point trait\u00e9s par vous de t\u00e9m\u00e9raires ?
\nVous avez bien d\u2019autres affaires
\n\u00c0 d\u00e9m\u00ealer que les d\u00e9bats
\nDu Lapin et de la Belette.
\nLisez-les, ne les lisez pas :
\nMais emp\u00eachez qu\u2019on ne nous mette
\nToute l\u2019Europe sur les bras.
\nQue de mille endroits de la terre
\nIl nous vienne des ennemis,
\nJ\u2019y consens ; mais que l\u2019Angleterre
\nVeuille que nos deux rois se lassent d\u2019\u00eatre amis,
\nJ\u2019ai peine \u00e0 dig\u00e9rer la chose.
\nN\u2019est-il point encore temps que Louis se repose ?
\nQuel autre Hercule enfin ne se trouverait las
\nDe combattre cette hydre ? et faut-il qu\u2019elle oppose
\nUne nouvelle t\u00eate aux efforts de son bras ?
\nSi votre esprit plein de souplesse,
\nPar \u00e9loquence et par adresse,
\nPeut adoucir les c\u0153urs et d\u00e9tourner ce coup,
\nJe vous sacrifierai cent moutons : c\u2019est beaucoup
\nPour un habitant du Parnasse.
\nCependant faites-moi la gr\u00e2ce
\nDe prendre en don ce peu d\u2019encens.
\nPrenez en gr\u00e9 mes v\u0153ux ardents,
\nEt le r\u00e9cit en vers qu\u2019ici je vous d\u00e9die.
\nSon sujet vous convient, je n\u2019en dirai pas plus :
\nSur les \u00e9loges que l\u2019envie
\nDoit avouer qui vous sont dus,
\nVous ne voulez pas qu\u2019on appuie.<\/p>\n

Dans Ath\u00e8nes autrefois, peuple vain et l\u00e9ger,
\nUn orateur, voyant sa patrie en danger,
\nCourut \u00e0 la tribune ; et, d\u2019un art tyrannique,
\nVoulant forcer les c\u0153urs dans une r\u00e9publique,
\nIl parla fortement sur le commun salut.
\nOn ne l\u2019\u00e9coutait pas. L\u2019orateur recourut
\n\u00c0 ces figures violentes
\nQui savent exciter les \u00e2mes les plus lentes :
\nIl fit parler les morts, tonna, dit ce qu\u2019il put :
\nLe vent emporta tout, personne ne s\u2019\u00e9mut.
\nL\u2019animal aux t\u00eates frivoles
\n\u00c9tant fait \u00e0 ces traits, ne daignait l\u2019\u00e9couter ;
\nTous regardaient ailleurs : il en vit s\u2019arr\u00eater
\n\u00c0 des combats d\u2019enfants, et point \u00e0 ses paroles.
\nQue fit le harangueur ? Il prit un autre tour.
\n\u00ab C\u00e9r\u00e8s, commen\u00e7a-t-il, faisait voyage un jour
\nAvec l\u2019Anguille et l\u2019Hirondelle :
\nUn fleuve les arr\u00eate, et l\u2019Anguille en nageant,
\nComme l\u2019Hirondelle en volant,
\nLe traversa bient\u00f4t. \u00bb L\u2019assembl\u00e9e \u00e0 l\u2019instant
\nCria tout d\u2019une voix : \u00ab Et C\u00e9r\u00e8s, que fit-elle ?
\n\u2013 Ce qu\u2019elle fit ? un prompt courroux
\nL\u2019anima d\u2019abord contre vous.
\nQuoi ! de contes d\u2019enfants son peuple s\u2019embarrasse ;
\nEt du p\u00e9ril qui le menace
\nLui seul entre les Grecs il n\u00e9glige l\u2019effet !
\nQue ne demandez-vous ce que Philippe fait ? \u00bb
\n\u00c0 ce reproche l\u2019assembl\u00e9e,
\nPar l\u2019apologue r\u00e9veill\u00e9e,
\nSe donne enti\u00e8re \u00e0 l\u2019orateur.
\nUn trait de fable en eut l\u2019honneur.<\/p>\n

Nous sommes tous d\u2019Ath\u00e8nes en ce point, et moi-m\u00eame
\nAu moment que je fais cette moralit\u00e9,
\nSi Peau d\u2019\u00e2ne m\u2019\u00e9tait cont\u00e9,
\nJ\u2019y prendrais un plaisir extr\u00eame.
\nLe monde est vieux, dit-on : je le crois ; cependant
\nIl le faut amuser encore comme un enfant.<\/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
