Ange divin, qui mes playes embâme
 (Sung text for setting by G. Boni)
 See original
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ange divin, qui mes playes embâme,
Le truchement et le heraut des dieux,
De quelle porte es-tu coulé des cieux,
Pour soulager les peines de mon ame ?
 
Toy quand la nuit par le penser m'enflame,
Ayant pitié de mon mal soucieux,
Or' dans mes bras, ores dedans mes yeux,
Tu fais noüer l'idole de ma Dame.
 
Las! où fuis-tu ?  arreste encore un peu :
Que vainement je me soye repeu
De ce beau corps dont l'appétit me ronge,
 
Et de ces yeux qui me font trespasser ;
Sinon d'effet, souffre au moins que par songe
Toute une nuit je les puisse embrasser.
