possibly by Jean-Antoine-Marie Monperlier (1788 - 1819)

Joli troupeau, gagnez la plaine
Language: French (Français) 
[Joli troupeau]1, gagnez la plaine,
Fuyez les bois de peur des loups ;
Je ne songe qu'à [Célimène]2 ;
[Je]3 ne saurais songer à vous.

Je ne sais plus, depuis que j'aime,
Mener mes chiens ni vous guider .
Je n'ai pu me garder moi-même ;
Comment pourrais-je vous garder ?
