Ce n’est pas vous qui me coûtez des larmes, &#13;
Bandeau des rois, sceptre de mes aïeux;&#13;
A mes regards vous n’offriez de charmes, &#13;
Que le pouvoir de faire des heureux. &#13;
&#13;
II. &#13;
Je ne vivois que de ce bien céleste;&#13;
Dans mon amour, j’embrassois l’univer:&#13;
De tant d’amour, hélas! il ne me reste&#13;
Qu’un peuple ingrat, des verroux et des fers. &#13;
&#13;
III. &#13;
Roi, père, époux, je suis seul sur la terre;&#13;
Ces murs sont sourds à mes tristes accens:&#13;
J’appelle en vain mes enfans et leur mère;&#13;
On les dérobe à mes embrassemens. &#13;
&#13;
IV. &#13;
CRUELS! cent fois, c’est m’arracher la vie;&#13;
Je meurs cent fois loin de ces biens si doux:&#13;
Frappez le roi; mais, dans votre furie, &#13;
N’accablez pas et le père et l’époux. &#13;
&#13;
V.&#13;
A madame ELISABETH. &#13;
Et toi, ma soeur, et toi dont la présence&#13;
Auroit pu seule adoucir tant d’horreurs:&#13;
On te redoute; on craint ton innocence;&#13;
On nous défend de confondre nos pleurs. &#13;
