by Nicolas-Germain Léonard (1744 - 1793)
Translation

Annette
Language: French (Français)  after the French (Français) 
Autrefois la jeune Annette,
En filant sa quenouillette
S'en allait sur les coteaux
Et répétait aux échos :
Je ne veux  point d'amourette,
Ne songeons qu'à mes troupeaux.

Annette aujourd'hui soupire ;
Depuis qu'il l'a su seduire
Amour trouble son repos,
Elle a laissé ses fuseaux ...
Et toujours il faut lui dire :
Songez donc à vos troupeaux !
