II.

QUAND la coquette Esperance

Nous pousse le coude en passant,

Puis a tire-d'aile s'elance,

Et se retourne en souriant;

Ou va l'homme? Ou son coeur l'appelle.

L'hirondelle suit le zephyr,

Et moins legere est l'hirondelle

Que l'homme qui suit son desir.

Ah! fugitive enchanteresse,

Sais tu seulement ton chemin?

Faut-il donc que le vieux Destin

Ait une si jeune maitresse?

A. DE MUSSET.Cum proterva Spes, petulans puella,

Vellit, nos praeter volitans cito, aurem

Tum quatit pennas, fugiensque ridet,

Ludere laeta.

Quid homo? Desiderium sequetur.

Nonne sectatur Zephyros hirundo?

Sed nequit cursu superare Procne

Percupientem.

Eia, quo tendis, fugiens imago?

Scisne? Die, Parcae veteres, tu parva ut

Imperes sibi, gravibus proterva,

Cur patiantur?

E. C. P.
