Present, present de couleur de Colombe, Va où mon Cueur s'est le plus adonné! Va doulcement, & doulcement y tombe! Mais au parler ne te monstre estonné! Dy que tu es pour Foy bien ordonné! Dy oultreplus (car je te l'abandonne) Que le Seigneur à qui tu es donné N'a foy semblable à celle qui te donne.
