by Antoine Girard de Saint-Amant (1594 - 1661)

Entrechats et cabrioles
Language: French (Français) 
Entrechats et cabrioles 
(Dieu sait combien à propos)
Répondent d'un pied dispos
Tant aux sistres qu'aux violes,
Et le roi des instruments,
Diffamé de tremblements
Dont le cliquetis me tue, 
En rebec se prostitue 
À ses gauches mouvements.

Tôt après le tambour sonne ;
Tout retentit de clameurs.
L'un crie en saignant : je meurs !
Et si l'on occit personne.
Les feintes, les faux combats
Font trembler, et haut et bas,
Le cœur du sexe imbécile,
Qui laisse œuvre et domicile 
Pour jouir de ces ébats.
