Ie fuis la vile, & temples, & tous lieus
 (Sung text for setting by A. Reimann)
 Matches original text
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ie fuis la vile, & temples, & tous lieus,
 Esquels prenant plaisir à t'ouir pleindre,
 Tu peus, & non sans force, me contreindre
 De te donner ce qu'estimois le mieus.

Masques, tournois, ieus me sont ennuieus.
 Et rien sans toy de beau ne me puis peindre :
 Tant que tachant à ce desir esteindre,
 Et un nouuel obget faire à mes yeus.

Et des pensers amoureus me distraire,
 Des bois espais sui le plus solitaire :
 Mais i'aperçoy, ayant erré maint tour,

Que si ie veus de toy estre deliure.
 Il me conuient hors de moymesme viure,
 Ou fais encor que loin sois en seiour.
