Allez Orphée!
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Allez Orphée, allez, allez!
Que votre amour extrême serve d'exemple à l'univers.
Il est beau qu'un mortel passe jusqu'aux Enfers
Pour se rejoindre à ce qu'il aime.

Hâtez-vous, hâtez-vous généreux amant.
Votre amour sert à votre gloire.
L'avenir aura peine à croire
Qu'on ait aimé si constamment.

Une tendresse conjugale n'a point encore forcé d'epoux
A passer la Barque fatale,
Cet honneur n'était dû qu'à vous.

Allez Orphée etc etc
