by François de Malherbe (1555 - 1628)

Cette Anne si belle
Language: French (Français) 
Cette Anne si belle, 
Qu'on vante si fort, 
Pourquoi ne vient-elle ?
Vraiment elle a tort. 

Son Louis soupire 
Après ses appas ; 
Que veut-elle dire 
De ne venir pas ? 

S'il ne la possède 
Il s'en va mourir ;
Donnons-y remède, 
Allons la querir. 

Assemblons, Marie, 
Ses yeux à vos yeux ;
Notre bergerie 
N'en vaudra que mieux. 

Hâtons le voyage ; 
Le siècle doré
En ce mariage 
Nous est assuré.
