Voici du gay Printems l’heureux advenement
Qui fait que l’hiver morne à regret se retire : 
Desja la petite herbe au gré du doux Zephire
Navré de son amour branle tout doucement.

Les foretz ont repris leur verd accoutrement,
Le ciel rit, l’air est chaud, le vent mollet soupire,
Le Rossignol se plaint et des accords qu’il tire
Fait languir les esprits d’un doux ravissement.

Le Dieu Mars et l’Amour sont parmi la campagne :
L’un au sang des humains, l’autre en leurs pleurs se bagne,
L’un tient le coutelas, l’autre porte les dars.

Suyve Mars qui voudra, mourant entre les armes :
Je veux suyvre l’Amour et seront mes alarmes
Les courroux, les soupirs, les pleurs et les regars.
