Description
Extrait: "Apollon se plaignait aux neuf Sœurs, l'autre jour, De ne voir presque plus de bons vers sur l'amour; Le siècle, disait-il, a gâté cette affaire: Lui nous parler d'amour! Il ne la sait pas faire. Ce qu'on n'a point au cœur, l'a-t-on dans ses écrits? J'ai beau communiquer de l'ardeur aux esprits; Les belles n'ayant pas disposé la matière, Amour et vers, tout est fort à la cavalière."
