Autrefois le Rat de ville Invita le Rat des champs, D'une façon fort civile, ? des reliefs d'Ortolans. Sur un Tapis de Turquie Le couvert se trouva mis. Je laisse à penser la vie Que firent ces deux amis. Le régal fut fort honnête, Rien ne manquait au festin ; Mais quelqu'un troubla la fête Pendant qu'ils étaient en train. ? la porte de la salle Ils entendirent du bruit : Le Rat de ville détale ; Son camarade le suit. Le bruit cesse, on se retire : Rats en campagne aussitôt ; Et le citadin de dire : Achevons tout notre rôt. — C'est assez, dit le rustique ; Demain vous viendrez chez moi : Ce n'est pas que je me pique De tous vos festins de Roi ; Mais rien ne vient m'interrompre : Je mange tout à loisir. Adieu donc ; fi du plaisir Que la crainte peut corrompre.
