Our translations: ENG
Quand tu nageois emmy Syrènes et Tritons, Gente naïade au corps souëf Enjoleuse la jolie, Tu cuydois l'enjoler, »Tu t'entraînais«, Ah, la bonne blague! Et c'est la sérieuse affaire qui t'a prise. Aphrodite s'est vengée de voir en toi, lovely, Une si jolie rivale à la Vénus de Botticelli, Enjoleuse la jolie, Enjolée à son tour. Ridete, Veneres, Cupidinesque, Ridete!
