Ma pauvre muse h las qu'as tu donc ce matin	A
Tes yeux creux sont peupl s de visions nocturnes	B
Et je vois tour tour r fl chis sur ton teint	C
La folie et l'horreur froides et taciturnes	B
	-
	-
Le succube verd tre et le rose lutin	A
T'ont ils vers la peur et l'amour de leurs urnes	B
Le cauchemar d'un poing despotique et mutin	A
T'a t il noy e au fond d'un fabuleux Minturnes	B
	-
	-
Je voudrais qu'exhalant l'odeur de la sant	C
Ton sein de pensers forts f t toujours fr quent	C
Et que ton sang chr tien coul t flots rythmiques	B
	-
	-
Comme les sons nombreux des syllabes antiques	B
O r gnent tour tour le p re des chansons	B
Phoebus et le grand Pan le seigneur des moissons	B

The Sick Muse	B
	-
My poor Muse alas what ails you today	C
Your hollow eyes are full of nocturnal visions	B
I see in turn reflected on your face	B
Horror and madness cold and taciturn	A
	-
Have the green succubus the rosy elf	D
Poured out for you love and fear from their urns	B
Has the hand of Nightmare cruel and despotic	E
Plunged you to the bottom of some weird Minturnae	A
	-
I would that your bosom fragrant with health	F
Were constantly the dwelling place of noble thoughts	B
And that your Christian blood would flow in rhythmic waves	B
	-
Like the measured sounds of ancient verse	B
Over which reign in turn the father of all songs	B
Phoebus and the great Pan lord of harvest	C

The Sick Muse	B
	-
Alas poor Muse what ails you so today	C
Your hollow eyes with midnight visions burn	A
And turn about in your complexion play	C
Madness and horror cold and taciturn	A
	-
Green succubus and rosy imp have they	C
Poured you both fear and love into one glass	B
Or with his tyrant fist the nightmare say	C
Submerged you in some fabulous morass	B
	-
I wish that breathing health your breast might nourish	H
Ever robuster thoughts therein to flourish	H
And that your Christian blood in rhythmic flow	I
	-
With those old polysyllables would chime	J
Where turn about reigned Phoebus sire of rhyme	J
And Pan the lord of harvests long ago	I

La Muse malade	C
	-
	-
poor Muse alas what ails thee now for thy	L
great hollow eyes with sights nocturnal burn	A
and in they changing pallor I descry	G
madness and frozen horror turn by turn	A
	-
did rosy sprites or pale green succubi	M
pour love or panic from their dream filled urn	A
did the mad fist of despot nightmare try	G
to drown thee where the fiends of hell sojourn	A
	-
I would that thou wert always filled with health	F
and manly thoughts undaunted that a wealth	F
of Christian blood were thine which always flowed	C
	-
in calm broad rhythms like a Grecian ode	C
now echoing forth Apollo's golden strain	A
and now great Pan the lord of ripening grain	A
	-

Translated by Lewis Piaget Shanks	B

The Sick Mused	C
	-
My impoverished muse alas What have you for me this morning	N
Your empty eyes are stocked with nocturnal visions	B
In your cheek's cold and taciturn reflection	A
I see insanity and horror forming	N
The green succubus and the red urchin	A
Have they poured you fear and love from their urns	B
The nightmare of a mutinous fist that despotically turns	B
Does it drown you at the bottom of a loch beyond searching	N
	-
I wish that your breast exhaled the scent of sanity	C
That your womb of thought was not a tomb more frequently	C
And that your Christian blood flowed around a buoy that was rhythmical	C
	-
Like the numberless sounds of antique syllables	B
Where reigns in turn the father of songs	B
Phoebus and the great Pan the harvest sovereign	A
