Madrigal
Language:
French
Celle que j'aime a de beauté
Plus que Flore et plus que Pomone,
Et je sais pour l'avoir chanté
Que sa bouche est le soir d'automne,
Et son regard la nuit d'été.
Pour marraine elle eut Astarté,
Pour patronne elle a la madone
Car elle est belle autant que bonne
Celle que j'aime!
Elle écoute, rit, et pardonne,
N'écoutant que par charité:
Elle écoute mais sa fierté
N'écoute, ni moi ni personne
Et rien encore n'a tenté
Celle que j'aime!
