Le bergerette, avee courage
Luttant déjá, 
Du joli piège sous I'ombrage
Se dégagea.
Deux jours après, Iâme brûlante,
D'un doux émoi, 
Elle revint, pâle et tremblante.
Ne sais pourquoi. 

Deux jours plus tard, grandes alarmes.
Pauvre Lison 
Attendit seule et toute en larmes,
Près du buisson. 
Le beau berger guettait loi, d'elle
Minois piquant. 
Il reviendra vers sa fidèle,
On ne sait quand.
