À vous, trouppe légère,
  Qui d'aile passagère
    Par le monde volez,
Et, d'un sifflant murmure
  L'ombrageuse verdure
    Doulcement esbranlez,

J'offre ces violettes,
  Ces lis, et ces fleurettes,
    Et ces roses icy,
Ces vermeillettes roses,
  Tout freschement écloses,
    Et ces oeilletz aussi.

De vostre doulce halaine
  Éventez ceste plaine,
    Éventez ce séjour:
Ce pendant que j'ahanne
  À mon blé, que je vanne
    À la chaleur du jour.
