by Jean Vauquelin de la Fresnaye (1536 - 1608)

Entre les fleurs, entre les lis
Language: French (Français) 
Entre les fleurs, entre les lis,
Doucement dormait ma Philis,
Et tout autour de son visage
Les petits amours, comme enfants,
Jouaient, folâtraient, triomphants,
Voyant des cieux la belle image.

J'admirai toutes ses beautés,
Egales à mes loyautés,
Quand l'esprit me dit en l'oreille :
Fou, que fais-tu ? le temps perdu
Souvent est chèrement vendu ;
S'on le recouvre, c'est merveille.

Alors je m'abaissai tout bas,
Sans bruit je marchai pas à pas,
Et baisai ses lèvres pourprines :
Savourant un tel bien, je dis
Que tel est dans le paradis
Le plaisir des âmes divines.
