Rends moi mon cœur, Rends moi mon cœur, pillarde Que tu retiens dans ton sein arresté Rends moi, rends moi ma douce liberté Qu'à tes beaux yeux mal caut, je mis en garde Rends moi ma vie ou bien la mort retarde Qui me devance [en aimant]1 ta beauté Par ne sai quelle honneste cruauté Et de plus pres mes angoisses regarde.
