by Clément Marot (1496 - 1544)

Si jamais fut un Paradis en Terre
Language: French (Français) 
Si jamais fut un Paradis en Terre, 
Là où tu es, là est-il sans mentir ;
Mais tel pourroit en toy Paradis querre
Qui ne viendroit fors à peine sentir :
Non toutesfois, qu'il s'en doibt repentir, 
Car heureux est qui souffre pour tel bien. 
Donque celuy que tu aymerois bien, 
Et qui receu seroit en si bel estre, 
Que seroit-il ? Certes je n'en say rien, 
Fors qu'il seroit ce que je voudrois estre.
