C’était pendant l’horreur d’une profonde nuit ; Ma mère Jézabel devant moi s’est montrée, Comme au jour de sa mort pompeusement parée ; Ses malheurs n’avaient point abattu sa fierté ; Même elle avait encor cet éclat emprunté Dont elle eut soin de peindre et d’orner son visage, Pour réparer des ans l’irréparable outrage : […]
En ce temps, Jézabel, attentive au plus haut Du palais, dit au Roi : — Seigneur, la chose est faite : Naboth est mort. Ô Chef, monte en ton chariot.
