 ... 

Ah, je meurs ! Ah, baise-moi !
Ah, maîtresse, approche-toi !
Tu fuis comme un fan qui tremble.
Au moins souffre que ma main
S'ébatte un peu dedans ton sein,
Ou plus bas, si bon te semble.

Composition:

    Set to music by Jean de Castro (c1540 - c1600), "Ah je meurs, ah baise moy", stanza 8
