Du feu chaut l'ardente fureur
Language: French (Français)
Du feu chaut l'ardente fureur
Je sens en mon coeur faire trace
Amour voyant semblable ardeur
Naistre du plus froid de sa glace
Espris de la divine grace
De ma Diane qui reluit
En mes tenebres jour et nuit
Cessa de voler et en terre
On la veu vaincu par les mains
Subtiles d’elle qui enserre
Sur terre et l’onde les humains
Et au ciel aux dieux faict la guerre.

The furious heat of a hot fire
Language: English after the French (Français)
The furious heat of a hot fire
I feel making its mark in my heart,
It’s Love, who sees similar warmth
Grow from the coldest ice.
Smitten by the godlike grace
Of my Diana, who lightens
My shadows, day and night,
Love ceases to fly, and on earth
You can see it overcome by the fine hands
Of the lady who ensnares
Mankind on earth and at sea,
And who makes war on the gods in heaven.
