QUAND AU MATIN… de Pierre de Ronsard

Quand au matin ma Déesse s’habille,

D’un riche or crêpe ombrageant ses talons,

Et les fi lets, de ses beaux cheveux blonds

En cent façons énonde et entortille,

Je l’accompare à l’écumière fi lle

Qui or peignant les siens brunement longs,

Or les frisant en mille crêpillons,

Passait la mer portée en sa coquille.

De femme humaine encore ne sont pas

Son ris, son front, ses gestes, ne ses pas.

Ne de ses yeux l’une et l’autre étincelle.

Rocs, eaux, ne bois, ne logent point en eux,

Nymphe qui ait si folâtres cheveux,

Ni l’oeil si beau, ni la bouche si belle.
