Baise m'encor, rebaise moy & baise : Donne m'en un de tes plus sauoureus, Donne m'en un de tes plus amoureus : Ie t'en rendray quatre plus chaus que braise. Las, te pleins tu ? ça que ce mal i'apaise. En t'en donnant dix autres doucereus. Ainsi meslans nos baisers tant heureus Iouissons nous l'un de l'autre à notre aise. Lors double vie à chacun en suiura. Chacun en soy & son ami viura. Permets m'Amour penser quelque folie : Tousiours suis mal, viuant discrettement, Et ne me puis donner contentement, Si hors de moy ne fay quelque saillie.

Permets m'Amour penser quelque folie : Tousjours suis mal, vivant discrettement, Et ne me puis donner contentement, Si hors de moy ne fay quelque saillie.

Csókot újra, csókot, s rá a csókod add: Csókod add, a leg’legízesebbet, Csókod add, a leg’legégetőbbet! Visszaadom négyszer’ összes csókodat. Tűznél hevesebbet, ha lángod lohad; S ráadásra tíz lágyat, édeset. Csókcsatánkat így víni élvezet, Perce egyre-másra kéjes-boldogabb. Együttlétünkre jön külön folytatás, Bévül önmagunk s egy barát él tovább. Ne szidj Szívem, itt e hűvös gondolat: Őrjít a napra-nap való szerénység; Egyáltalán nem tölt elégedettség, Bár sohasem teszek bűnös dolgokat.
