Quote
Ô temps ! suspends ton vol, et vous, heures propices !Suspendez votre cours :Laissez-nous savourer les rapides délicesDes plus beaux de nos jours !Assez de malheureux ici-bas vous implorent,Coulez, coulez pour eux ;Prenez avec leurs jours les soins qui les dévorent ;Oubliez les heureux.Mais je demande en vain quelques moments encore,Le temps m'échappe et fuit ;Je dis à cette nuit : Sois plus lente ; et l'auroreVa dissiper la nuit.
