Lise, entends-tu l'orage ? Il gronde, l'air gémit : Sauvons-nous au bocage.... Lise doute et frémit. Qu'un cœur faible est à plaindre Dans ce double danger ! C'est trop d'avoir à craindre L'orage et son berger. Mais cependant la foudre Redouble ses éclats ; Que faire et que résoudre ? Faut-il donc suivre Hilas ? De frayeur Lise atteinte Va, vient, fuit tour à tour : On fait un pas par crainte, Un autre par amour. Lise au bosquet s'arrête Et n'ose y pénétrer : Un coup de la tempête, Enfin l'y fait entrer. La foudre au loin s'égare, On échappe à ses traits ; Mais ceux qu'amour prépare Ne nous manquent jamais. Ce dieu, pendant l'orage, Profite des momens : Caché dans le nuage, Son œil suit les amans. Lise, de son asile, Sortit d'un air confus.... Le Ciel devint tranquille, Son cœur ne l'était plus.

Lise, ¿oyes la tormenta? Ruge, el aire gime brusco refugiémonos en los arbustos. Lisa duda y tiembla su corazón débil se aterra con dos peligros alrededor: Es demasiado grande el temor a la tormenta y a su pastor. Sin embargo, viene el rayo y redobla su estruendo ¿Qué hace, cómo resolverlo? ¿Hay que seguir a Hilas? Con miedo, Luisa dubita Va, viene, siempre vacila. Uno camina por temor, el otro, por amor.
