Vous aurez beau faire et beau dire,
L'oubli me serait odieux ;
Et je vois toujours son sourire
  Des adieux.

Vous aurez beau dire et beau faire,
Sans espoir je dois la chérir ;
Je souffre bien, mais je préfère
  En souffrir.

Vous aurez beau faire et beau dire
Dût-elle même l'ignorer,
Je veux, fidèle à mon martyre,
  La pleurer.

Vous aurez beau dire et beau faire,
Seule, elle peut mon mal guérir ;
Et j'aime mieux, s'il persévère,
  En mourir.
