S'il est ainsi que tu m'aymes mignonne
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
S'il est ainsi que tu m'aymes mignonne
Et que l’amour ayt lancé dans ton cœur
Et son doux feu dont je sens la chaleur
Et son doux trait qui tousjours m’espoinçonne :

Et si tu as le desir qu’il me donne
Et si mon mal est ta mesme douleur
Pourquoy tiens tu ceste fainte rigueur
Qui me defend ce que l‘amour m’ordonne ?

Las ! Je voy bien qu’il n’a point comme à moy
Lancé son feu ny son traict dessur toy
Et que ton mal est tel que tu scais faindre

Car hé bons dieux ! et qui  pourroit souffrir
Un si grand mal sans le vouloir guerir
Et si grand feu sans le vouloir esteindre ?
