by Hippolyte-Jules Pilet de La Mesnardière (1610 - 1663)

Plaignez la rigueur de mon sort
Language: French (Français) 
Plaignez la rigueur de mon sort;
Beaux yeux qui le voyez, & qui devez le plaindre,
N'est-ce pas un cruel effort,
Que mesme en expirant il faille se contraindre ?
Et souffrir jusques à la mort
La douleur de languir, & la peine de feindre ?

Comment puis-je avoir reconfort ?
Tyrans doux & cruels, c'est vous que ie dois craindre:
Si ie suis l'amoureux transport,
Beaux yeux, vous témoignez que ie dois me contraindre,
Et souffrir jusques à la mort,
La douleur de languir, & la peine de feindre.
