Charmant Amour sous ta puissance
Tôt ou tard on sent tes faveurs,
Souvent dans les plus grands malheurs
Elles passent notre espérance.

Charmant Amour sous ta puissance, &c.

Tu ne fais sentir tes rigueurs
Que pour éprouver la constance,
Tu veux que la persévérance
Puisse mériter tes douceurs.

Charmant Amour sous ta puissance, &c.
