by Antoinette Deshoulières (1637 - 1694)

Tiran dont tout se plaint, Tiran que...
Language: French (Français) 
Tiran dont tout se plaint, Tiran que tout adore,
  Amour, impitoyable Amour,
Donne quelque relâche au mal qui me devore
  Et la nuit & le jour.
Fais pour me soulager que mon aimable Alcandre 
  Devienne un peu plus tendre :
Va porter dans son sein cette boüillante ardeur, 
Ces violens transports, cette langueur extrême 
  Dont tu remplis mon triste cœur 
  Depuis l'heureux moment qu'il aime.
Ne crains pas que tes soins soient mal récompensez :
Mon Alcandre connoît ta puissance suprême. 
Il aime. Mais, helas ! il n'aime pas assez.
