La Belle Matineuse
Des portes du matin l’Amante de Céphale,
Ses roses épandait dans le milieu des airs,
Et jetait sur les cieux nouvellement ouverts
Ces traits d’or et d’azur qu’en naissant elle étale,
Quand la Nymphe divine, à mon repos fatale,
Apparut, et brilla de tant d’attraits divers,
Qu’il semblait qu’elle seule éclairait l’Univers
Et remplissait de feux la rive Orientale.
Le Soleil se hâtant pour la gloire des Cieux
Vint opposer sa flamme à l’éclat de ses yeux,
Et prit tous les rayons dont l’Olympe se dore.
L’Onde, la terre et l’air s’allumaient alentour
Mais auprès de Philis on le prit pour l’Aurore,
Et l’on crut que Philis était l’astre du jour.

Belle Matineuse
From doors of the morning the Lover of Céphale,
His pinks spread in the medium of the airs,
And threw on the lately open skies
These features of gold and azure that while being born it spreads out,
When the divine Nymph, with my rest fatal,
Appeared, and shone of as well various attractions,
As it seemed that she only lit the Universe
And filled with fires Eastern bank.
The Sun hastening for the glory of the Skies
opposed its flame to the glare of its eyes,
And took all the rays whose Olympus is gilded.
The Wave, the ground and the air ignited around
But at Philis one took it for the Dawn,
And one believed that Philis was the star of the day.
