by Pierre de Ronsard (1524 - 1585)
Translation

L'attrait de tes beaux yeux
Language: French (Français)  after the French (Français) 
A te servir l'attrait de tes beaux yeux
force man âme, et quand je veux te dire,
quelle est ma mort, ah ! tu n'en fais que rire,
et de mon mal tu as le cœur joyeux.

Puisqu'en t'aimant je ne puis avoir mieux,
permets au mains qu'en mourant je soupire,
n'est-ce pas assez de voir mon martyre,
sans te moquer de mon mal soucieux.

Railler mon mal, rire de ma douleur,
par un dédain redoubler mon malheur
hair qui t'aime, et vivre de sa plainte,

rompre ta foi, manquer a ton devoir.
Ainsi tu fais, méchante, peux-tu voir
man cœur saigner sous ta cruelle étreinte !
