Chaque âge a ses plaisirs, son esprit et ses mœurs.

Un jeune homme, toujours bouillant dans ses caprices,
Est prompt à recevoir l'impression des vices ;
Est vain dans ses discours, volage en ses désirs,
Rétif à la censure et fou dans les plaisirs.

L'âge viril, plus mûr, inspire un air plus sage,
Se pousse auprès des grands, s'intrigue, se ménage,
Contre les coups du sort songe à se maintenir,
Et loin dans le présent regarde l'avenir.

La vieillesse chagrine incessamment amasse ;
Garde, non pas pour soi, les trésors qu'elle entasse ;
Marche en tous ses desseins d'un pas lent et glacé ;
Toujours plaint le présent et vante le passé ;
Inhabile aux plaisirs, dont la jeunesse abuse,
Blâme en eux les douceurs que l'âge lui refuse.


Nicolas Boileau
