Je vous envoie un bouquet, que ma main
Language: French (Français)
Available translation(s): ENG
Je vous envoie un bouquet, que ma main Vient de trier de ces fleurs épanies, Qui ne les eut à ces vêpres cueillies, [Tombées]1 à terre elles fussent demain. Cela vous soit un exemple certain, Que vos beautés, bien qu'elles soient fleuries, En peu de temps, seront toutes flétries, Et, comme fleurs, périront tout soudain. Le temps s'en va, le temps s'en va ma Dame, Las ! le temps non, mais nous nous en allons, Et tôt serons étendus sous la lame, Et des amours, desquelles nous parlons Quand serons morts, n'en sera plus nouvelle : [Donc, aimez-moi]2, cependant qu'êtes belle.
