Syrinx, ou l’origine de la flûte Syrinx, or the origin of the flute Maîtres si vantés dans un Art (Famed masters, who an Art adorn Auquel les Dieux et le Hazard That of the Gods and Chance was born Donnèrent autrefois naissance, In times that long have sped, Par une juste préférence By a just preference led, Que le Goût ne peut démentir Which Taste cannot gainsay, Je veux aujourd’hui cous offrir I offer you this day Les doux passe-temps d’une Muse A pastime sweet, a Muse’s bliss Qui Apollon, si je ne m’abuse, One Phoebus, if I’m not amiss, Quelquefois daigne caresser. At times deigns to caress. Puis-je, en effet, mieux adresser Whom could more fitly I address, Et l’aventure et l’origine And origin and tel outline De la flûte, toute divine, of the flute, instrument divine, Qu’ à ceux dont le rare talent Than those whose talents rare dispense Nous rend ce bois plus éloquent The gift of its wood’s eloquence Que ne fit le dieu Pan lui-même, Beyond pan’s art to do as much, Lorsque dans son ardeur extrême As when, with fervor’s frenzied touch Ses doigts ravirent autrefois His fingers straying, knew to please Toutes les Déités des Bois? The ravished Woodland Deities? On sait assez que votre gloire So great your glory that in vain Pour se transmettre à la mémoire Lest memory it not retain, N’a pas besoin de cette encens. This tribute seeks it to enhance. Ô que, ant que le Goût, en France Ah, may, while Good Taste still in France Sous ses pieds foulant I’Ignorance, Tread underfoot blind ignorance, Sur ce monstre dominera And o’er the monster lordship claim, Toujours cotre renom vivra! Ever endure and live your fame!) - Written by Sieur Denesle in 1739. Translated by Frederick H, Martens (Louis Fleury). |
