by Pierre de Ronsard (1524 - 1585)
Translation

À sa maîtresse
Language: French (Français)  after the French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ma petite colombelle,
Mon petit oeil, baisez-moi,
Ma petite toute belle,
Mon petit oeil, baisez-moi.
D'une bouche toute pleine
D'amour, chassez-moi la peine
De mon amoureux émoi.

Quand je vous dirai: Mignonne,
Approchez-vous; qu'on me donne
Neuf baisers tout à la fois,
Donnez m'en seulement trois.
