Je suis tellement amoureux
Language: French (Français)
Je suis tellement amoureux, Qu'au vray raconter je ne puis Ny où je suis, ne qui je suis, Ny combien je suis malheureux. J'ay pour mon hoste nuict et jour, Comme un tigre, un cruel esmoy Qui va pratiquant dessus moy Toutes les cruautez d'Amour. Et si mon cœur ne peut s'armer Contre l'œil qui le navre à tort : Car, plus il me donne la mort, Plus je suis contraint de l'aimer.
A. Pevernage sets lines 1-4
