Aachen Du Bellay. (№ 397280)

Je n'adore les biens, et sers à l avarice,
Je n'aime les'honneurs, et me les faut priser,
Je veux garder ma foi, et me faut la briser,
Je cherche la vertu, et ne trouve que vice!




Not a hypocrite, learn the language of feigned praise;
Honor the faith of their forefathers, but became her enemy.
I just want the truth to live, but I lie as all around;
Friend of virtue, suffer the pernicious Vice.
