JOACHIM DU BELLAY:
LES REGRETS, SONNET XXXI
(1558)
Heureux qui, comme Ulysse, a fait un beau
voyage,
Ou comme cestuy-là qui conquit la toison,
Et puis est retourné, plein d'usage et raison,
Vivre entre ses parents le reste de son âge !
Happy is the one who, like
Ulysses,
makes a great voyage,
Or seeks a Golden Fleece,
And then decides to return home,
wise to the world
To live among family for the
remainder of days!
