Air léger
Language: French (Français)
Tu te plais, enfant de Cythere. A faire acheter tes douceurs, L'amant que tu veux satisfaire. N'est point exempt de tes rigueurs! Pour etre heureux dans ton empire, Il faut qu'il en coute des pleurs. Plus unfidele amant soupire, Mieux il connait le prix de tes faveurs.
