by Pierre de Ronsard (1524 - 1585)
Translation

Ma petite colombelle
Language: French (Français)  after the French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ma petite colombelle,
Ma petite toute belle,
Mon petit œil, baisez-moi
D'un baiser qui longtemps dure
Poussés hors la peine dure
De mon amoureux esmoy.

Quand je vous dirai: Mignonne,
Sus, venez que l'on me donne
Neuf baisers tout simplement

Telz que Diane guerriere
Les donne à Phébus son frère,
Et l'Aurore à son vieillard;
Puis reculez vostre bouche
Et bien loing, toute farouche,
Fuyez d'un pied fretillard.

Comme un taureau par la prée
Court après son amourée,
Ainsi tout plein de courroux
Je courray fol apres vous.
