Au feu, au feu, venez‑moi secourir
 (Sung text for setting by R. de Lassus)
 Matches base text
Language: French (Français) 
Au feu, au feu, venez-moi secourir,
Tous vrais amants, voyez la grande offense.
A tort amour me brûle sans mourir,
Et si ne puis contre elle avoir défense.
O dur ennui qui me tient en souffrance,
Fais moi jouir du bien que je prétends,
Ou rends mon cœur en si bonne espérance
Qu'en espérant je ne perde mon temps.
 
Reponse:
A l'eau, à l'eau, jette-toi vitement,
Et tu auras ton mal allégeance,
Trop chaud tu feux te mettre si avant
Sans bien penser d'amour la grand puissance,
Donc si ennui te tient en tel' souffrance
Ne te laissant avoir ce que prétends,
Prends réconfort ou vis en espérance,
Car comme toi plusieurs perdent leur temps.

Composition:

    Set to music by Roland de Lassus (1532 - 1594), "Au feu, au feu, venez-moi secourir"
