Adieu bergère
Language: French (Français) 
Adieu, bergère pour jamais
Je conquois vostr' humeur volage
Je ne veux plus que désormais
Vous tenies mon âme en servage
Je veux changer et comme vous estre léger.

Ceux qui ayment fidèllement
Ne seraint avoir l'humeur belle
C'es pourquoy je fais un ferment
Qui je ne feray plus fidelle
Je veux changer et comme vous estre léger.

Je ne me plains pas de l'erreur
Qu'envers moy vous aves commise,
Car je tiens à trop de bonheur,
D'avoir recouvert ma franchise
Je veux changer et comme vous estre léger.

Je suis si heureux, et contant
D'avoir en liberté ma vie
Que je n'en regrette pas tant.
Le temps que je vous ay servie
Je veux changer et comme vous estre léger.
