Voilà Sylvandre et Lycas et Myrtil C'est aujourd'hui fête chez Cydalise. Enchantant l'air de son parfum subtil, Au clair de lune où tout s'idéalise Avec la rose Aminthe rivalise. Philis, Eglé, qui suivent leurs amants, Cherchent l'ombrage et les abris charmants. Dans le soleil qui s'irrite et qui joue, Luttant d'orgueil avec les diamants, Sur le chemin, le Paon blanc fait la roue.

Sylvandre, Lycas and Myrtil are there. Cydalise hosts a party today. With her subtle perfume enchanting the air, Aminthe competes with the roses in the moonlight where all is perfection. Philis and Eglé, following their lovers, seek shade and the charming summerhouses. And in the sun, which is both annoyed and playful, proudly vying with the diamonds, there on the path, the white Peacock spreads his tail.
Translator's note: the title refers to a flirtatious outdoor party as seen in the 18th-century paintings of Watteau.
