Mes yeux il est temps de pleurer,
Et vous mon cœur de soupirer,
Le ciel me prepare une absence,
Quand vous serez hors de ces lieux,
Cloris, auray-je puissance
De viure absent de vos beaux yeux ?

Je me veux plaindre a cette fois,
Je veux des Antres et des Bois
Par mes cris troubler le silence,
Quand vous serez hors de ces lieux,
Cloris, auray-je puissance
De viure absent de vos beaux yeux?

O dieux ! que je croyois si doux,
Quelle rigueur exercez vous
Me donnant cette penitence ?
Quand vous serez hors de ces lieux,
Cloris, auray-je puissance
De viure absent de vos beaux yeux ?
