Vol des flèches de Cupidon

Diane un jour dans un bois sombre
Vit Cupidon dormir à l'ombre
« Me voilà donc maîtresse de son sort
Vengeons nous en tandis qu'il dort. »

Tous les mortels versent des larmes
Pour ses appas vains et trompeurs
Si je lui peux voler ses armes
Je rends la paix à tous les cœurs.
