Viens dans ce bocage, belle Aminte,
Sans contrainte, l'on y forme des vœux.
Viens !
Viens dans ce bocage, belle Aminte,
Il est fait pour les plaisirs et les jeux.
Viens !

Le ramage des oiseaux,
Le murmure des eaux,
Tout nous engage
A choisir ce beau séjour
Pour offrir à l'amour
Un tendre hommage.

À l'ombre de ses forêts,
Goûtons les biens secrets
D'un aimable badinage ;
Nous sommes tous deux
Dans le bel âge,
De nos chaînes resserrons les nœuds ;
Vives ardeurs, moments flatteurs,
Que vos douceurs à jamais comblent nos cœurs.
