Prière du matin
Language: French (Français) 
Un matin éveillée
Au point du jour,
Ma fenestre levée
O dieu d'amour !
Quel doux ravissement,
J'aperçus mon amant !

Quand je fus descendue,
Quand j'eus ouvert,
Je vis que j'étais nue,
Mais de quoy sert ?
Sort t'on facilement
Des bras de son amant.

Sur mon sein, sans m'entendre,
Porta la main,
Je voulus me défendre,
Ce fut en vain.
Je ne suys pas vrayment
Si forte qu'un amant.

Une épingle cachée
Piqua sa main ;
Cette épingle arrachée
Montra mon sein.
Ah ! quel objet charmant,
S'écria mon amant.

Je lui dis de se taire
Ou s'en aller
De crainte, que ma mère
Nous ouy parler.
Mais peut-on aisément
Renvoyer son amant.

Me tenant embrassée
Il me poussa,
Ma jambe embarassée
Le pied glissa.
Le pied glisse aisément
En faveur d'un amant.
