Air vif et gracieux
Language: French (Français)
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.

A lively and graceful air
Language: English  after the French (Français)
Charming Love, under your power
Sooner or later one experiences your favors,
Frequently during the greatest misfortunes
They transcend hope.
Charming Love, under your power, etc.
You do not realize your own strictness
In testing constancy,
Wherein only perseverence
Can merit your comforts.
Charming Love, under your power, etc.
