Un plus savant que moi, Paschal, ira songer
Un plus savant que moi, Paschal, ira songer
Avecques l'Ascréan dessus la double cime :
Et pour être de ceux dont on fait plus d'estime,
Dedans l'onde au cheval tout nu s'ira plonger.
Quant à moi, je ne veux, pour un vers allonger,
M'accourcir le cerveau : ni pour polir ma rime,
Me consumer l'esprit d'une soigneuse lime,
Frapper dessus ma table ou mes ongles ronger.
Aussi veux-je, Paschal, que ce que je compose
Soit une prose en rime ou une rime en prose,
Et ne veux pour cela le laurier mériter.
Et peut-être que tel se pense bien habile,
Qui trouvant de mes vers la rime si facile,
En vain travaillera, me voulant imiter.
