by Pierre Guédron (c1565 - c1621)

Voicy le temps
Language: French (Français) 
Voicy le temps bergere 
Qu’il fera bon aymer, 
Et que rame legere 
Aura de quoy changer.

Vos pensées volages 
Voueront tous les jours 
A des nouveaux visages
Des nouvelles amours.

Et n’ayant point de pause 
Sur le mal ny le bien, 
Vous prendrés toute chose 
Et ne retiendrés rien.

Aussi lorsqu’on s’agitte 
Dedans le changement,
On a ce qu’on mérite 
Quand on a que du vent.

Vostre façon commune 
Différant en clairté, 
Esgalera la Lune 
En instabilité.

Quand à moy je proteste 
De vouloir seulement 
Vous voir légere au reste 
Et ferme au changement.

Car vostre humeur muable 
Fait faire autant de cas 
De vous estre agréable 
Que de ne l’estre pas.
