Bonjour mon cœur
Language: French (Français)
Bonjour mon cœur Bonjour mon cœur, Bonjour ma douce vie, Bonjour mon œil Bonjour ma chere amie! Hé! bonjour, ma toute belle, Ma mignardise, Bonjour, mes délices, Mon amour, Mon doux printemps, Ma douce fleur nouvelle, Mon doux plaisir, Ma douce colombelle, Mon passereau, ma gente tourterelle! Bonjour ma douce rebelle. Je veux mourir Si plus on me reproche Que mon service Est plus froid qu'une roche, De t'avoir laissé maistresse Pour aller suivre le roy [Et chercher]1 je ne sçay quoy Que le vulgaire Appelle une largesse. Plustoste perisse honneur, Cour et richesse, Que pour les biens Jamais je te relaisse, Ma douce et belle deesse.
