À CHLORIS Théophile de Viau S'il est vrai, Chloris, que tu m'aimes, Mais j'entends, que tu m'aimes bien, Je ne crois pas que les rois mêmes Aient un bonheur pareil au mien. Que la mort serait importune De venir changer ma fortune Pour la félicité des cieux! Tout ce qu'on dit de l'ambroisie Ne touche pas ma fantaisie Au prix des grâces de tes yeux. To CHLORIS English Translation © Richard Stokes If it be true, Chloris, that you love me, (And I'm told you love me dearly), I do not believe that even kings Can match the happiness I know. Even death would be powerless To alter my fortune With the promise of heavenly bliss! All that they say of ambrosia Does not stir my imagination Like the favour of your eyes!
