En regardant ces belles fleurs Que le temps nouveau d'amours prie, Chascune d'elle s'ajolie, Et farde de plaisans couleurs; Tant embasmées sont de odeurs Qu'il n'est cueur qui ne rajeunie. En regardant ces belles fleurs Que le temps nouveau d'amours prie. Les oyseaulx deviennent danseurs Dessus mainte branche fleurie, Et font joyeuse chanterie, De contres, des chans et teneurs. En regardant ces belles fleurs Que le temps nouveau d'amours prie.

We admire these beautiful flowers requested by love's new season. Each one makes itself pretty and puts on lovely colours. So perfumed they are with fragrances that our hearts grow young again. We admire these beautiful flowers requested by love's new season. The birds become dancers on many a flowering branch, and they sing a joyous concert with varied warbling voices. We admire these beautiful flowers requested by love's new season.
