by Clément Marot (1496 - 1544)

Vous perdez temps de me dire mal d'elle
 (Sung text for setting by J. Guyot)
 See original
Language: French (Français) 
Vous perdez temps de me dire mal d'elle,
Gens qui voulez divertir mon entente :
Plus la blasmez, plus je la trouve belle,
S'esbahit-on si tant je m’en contente ?
  La fleur de sa jeunesse,
  A vostre advis rien n'est ce ?
  N'est ce rien de ses graces ?
  Cessez vos grands audaces,
Car mon amour vaincra vostre mesdire :
Tel en mesdict qui pour soy la desire.
Confirmed with Œvres complètes de Clément Marot, Nouvelle Édition, Tome II, Paris, 1824, p. 206.
