Tels que l'on vit jadis les enfants de la Terre
Tels que l'on vit jadis les enfants de la Terre
Plantés dessus les monts pour écheller les cieux,
Combattre main à main la puissance des dieux,
Et Jupiter contre eux, qui ses foudres desserre :
Puis tout soudainement renversés du tonnerre
Tomber deçà delà ces squadrons furieux,
La Terre gémissante, et le Ciel glorieux
D'avoir à son honneur achevé cette guerre :
Tel encore on a vu par-dessus les humains
Le front audacieux des sept coteaux romains
Lever contre le ciel son orgueilleuse face :
Et tels ores on voit ces champs déshonorés
Regretter leur ruine, et les dieux assurés
Ne craindre plus là-haut si effroyable audace.
