Je parangonne à ta jeune beauté.
Qui toujours dure en son printemps nouvelle.
Ce mois d'avril qui ses fleurs renouvelle,
En sa plus gaie et verte nouveauté.

Loin devant toi fuira la cruauté :
Devant lui fuit la saison plus cruelle.
Il est tout beau, ta face est toute belle :
Ferme est son cours, ferme est ta loyauté :

Il peint les bords, les forêts et les plaines,
Tu peins mes vers d'un bel émail de fleurs :
Des laboureurs il arrose les peines,

D'un vain espoir tu laves mes douleurs :
Du ciel sur l'herbe il fait tomber les pleurs,
Tu fais sortir de mes yeux deux fontaines.
