by Clément Marot (1496 - 1544)

De l'Amour du Siècle Antique
Language: French (Français) 
Au bon vieulx temps ung train d'Amours regnoit,
Qui sans grand art, et dons se demenoit,
Si qu'un boucquet donné d'Amour profonde,
S'estoit donné tout la Terre ronde,
Car seulement au cueur on se prenoit.
Et si par cas à jouyr on venoit,
Sçavez vous bien comme on s'entretenoit?
Vingt ans, trente ans: cela duroit ung Monde
Au bon vieulx temps.
Or est perdu ce qu'Amour ordonnoit,
Rien que pleurs fainctz, rien que changes on n'oyt,
Qui vouldra donc qu'à aymer je me fonde,
Il fault premier que l'Amour on refonde,
Et qu'on la meine ainsi, qu'on la menoit
Au bon vieulx temps.

Confirmed with Les œuvres de Clément Marot, G. Roville, 1547, pages 366-367.
