le bonheur des enfans vertueux.
Supplicibus facito places ante omnia votis.?Ille tibi ingeniumque sagax, corpusque salubre,
46.
Dieu sait ce qu'il te faut beaucoup mieux que toi-même;?Il te préservera de tout mauvais penchant,?Si tu te souviens bien que ce juge suprême?Doit couronner le juste et punir le méchant.
Et multò meliora dabit. Diffidere noli.?Tu modò ad illius semper refer omnia laudem.
EXTRAIT DE L'ANTHOLOGIE MORALE.
1. _D'un plan de vie._
Prescris-toi pour toujours une regle certaine,?Un plan fixe et constant qui te serve de loi;?Qui te suive au-dehors, quand le monde t'entra?ne,?Et, quand tu restes seul, qui demeure avec toi.
2. _Pour qui sommes-nous nés?_
Ce n'est pas à nous seuls qu'appartient notre vie.?De ces momens si courts il faut faire trois parts:?La premiere, en tribut, se doit à la Patrie;?Une autre à l'Amitié, la troisieme aux Beaux-Arts.
3. _De l'Amitié._
L'homme veut partager sa joie et sa tristesse;?Son coeur cherche un ami, surtout dans le malheur;?Et le besoin d'aimer est, après la Sagesse,?Ce que Dieu même à l'homme a donné de meilleur.
4. _La vraie grandeur._
Adorons un seul Dieu. Chérissons tous les hommes.?Servons la République. Honorons nos parens.?Sachons faire du bien dans la sphere où nous sommes.?Soyons justes surtout. Nous serons assez grands.
5. _Examen de chaque journée._
Je suis plus vieux d'un jour. En quoi suis-je plus sage??Quel bien ai-je produit? quel mal ai-je évité??Du jour qui vient de fuir ai-je fait quelque usage,?Et puis-je m'endormir avec sécurité?
6. _De la Conscience._
Contre la Conscience il n'est point de réfuge:?Elle parle en nos coeurs. Rien n'étouffe sa voix,?Et de nos actions elle est, tout à-la-fois,?La Loi, l'Accusateur, le Témoin et le Juge.
