by Clément Marot (1496 - 1544)

J'ayme le cueur de m'amye
Language: French (Français) 
J'ayme le cueur de m'amye 
Sa bonté, et sa doulceur, 
Je l'ayme sans infamie,
Et comme un frere la sœur. 
Amytié desmesuree,
N'est jamais bien asseuree, 
Et met les cueurs en tourment :
Je veulx aymer autrement.

Ma mignonne debonnaire, 
Ceulx qui font tant de clamours, 
Ne taschent qu'à eulx complaire, 
Plus qu'à leurs belles amours. 
Laissons les en leur follie,
Et en leur melancolie :
Leur amytié cessera 
Sans fin la nostre sera.
