DE BULLY. — APPKNDICK. 121
Lorsque retentira la voix à qui tout cède, La voix de Taillefer, du brave Cytharède, D'un bond nous saisirons l'invincible étendard.
Pourquoi ne pas partir, nos armures sont prêtes!
Nous devrions maintenant jouir de nos conquêtes!
Les vierges d'outre-mer sont sylphes séduisants :
La neige brunirait auprès de leur visage ;
Leurs blonds cheveux à voir sont plus doux qu'un nuage,
Et leurs yeux brillent plus qu'au soir les vers luisants.
Si vous calmez les vents, Notre-Dame des Ondes, Vous aurez votre part des dépouilles fécondes Sous forme d'un autel en lapis-lazuli.
La paix rouille les cœurs et les cottes de mailles : Pitié pour nos guerriers avides de batailles. Pour nos preux de Belesme ^ et Roger de Bully!
Quand nous aurons conquis le pays maritime,
Objet de tous nos vœux, nous irons à Solime
Gagner notre salut, bien mieux qu'à deux genoux...
Jésus-Christ ouvrira le céleste empyrée
A ceux qui partiront pour la terre sacrée.
Et qui mourront pour lui, comme il est mort pour nous !
